Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 2 large potatoes, cubed
  • 4 tbsp butter, unsalted
  • 3 cups hot water
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cubed
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cubed
  • 4 pcs beef cubes
  • 1 large onion, cubed
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • pinch of salt, to taste
  • pinch of ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a non-stick pan or skillet, melt the 2 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Brown the beef evenly, then transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same pan (don't discard the sauce from the beef for more flavor), add the remaining 2 tbsp butter and cubed bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir once at the 5-minute mark to prevent the seasoning vegetables from sticking.
  • Remove the cover and add the browned beef back into the pan. Then add the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
  • Let the stew cook for 10–20 minutes or until the beef and potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a bit more salt or crushed red pepper if you prefer a stronger flavor.
  • Serve the mild spicy beef stew hot over white rice because pairing it with rice is what makes it a perfect meal. Enjoy!
