When we hear the words "beef stew with rice," our minds travel to a flavorful nostalgic feast. It is a dish deeply rooted in tradition, associated with family moments and sunny Sundays filled with aromas and flavors.
Preparing beef stew with rice is a time-consuming process that requires patience and dedication. The beef is slow-cooked in a rich sauce infused with aromatic spices, tomatoes, and red wine. As it simmers over low heat, the aromas waft through the kitchen, captivating us with an enticing fragrance.
The sauce that envelops the beef is what steals the show. Rich, thick, and bursting with flavors, it imparts a distinct taste and texture to the meat. The rice, served alongside, acts as the perfect companion, absorbing the rich sauce and adding a light texture and flavor to the dish, creating a delightful overall experience.
Traditional recipes for beef stew with rice can vary depending on the region and personal preferences. However, the essence remains the same: a dish filled with flavor, warmth, and deliciousness that will satisfy even the most discerning palate.
Let's embark on creating the most delightful beef stew that will leave us licking our fingers, just like in the good old days!

Here are our ingredients:
•   1 kilogram of beef (brisket or chuck), cut into pieces
•   2 large onions, finely chopped
•   1 concasse tomato
•   2 tablespoons of tomato paste
2 carrots cut in small pieces
2 calery sticks cut in small pieces
•   2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
•   1/2 wine glass of red wine
•   Some olive oil
•   Salt, pepper, spices (such as cinnamon and bay leaves)

Directions

In a pot, we saute the beef until it browns nicely and develops a crust. Once the beef is ready, we add the onions,the carrots,and the calery and continue sauteing. Next, we add the garlic and tomato paste. Then, we deglaze the pot with red wine and add the concasse tomato. We let the mixture come to a boil and then lower the heat. If needed, we add warm water (or beef broth) to prevent the stew from drying out and the meat from becoming tough.
The cooking time will depend on the tenderness of the meat and the size of the beef pieces. When the beef is almost tender, we cut it into smaller pieces and add our spices. We let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
Today, I will serve my beef stew with rice. Of course, you can pair it with pasta, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or even eggplant puree, as they all complement the dish perfectly.
Get ready to savor this hearty and comforting beef stew with rice, a dish that brings back memories and creates new ones with every bite. Enjoy!
