Postupak

Korak po korak

1
Season the beef stew meat generously with salt and pepper.
Oko 5 min
2
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron pot or heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until it's deeply colored on all sides, then remove and set aside.
Oko 10 min
Napomena kuhara: Do not overcrowd the pot; this ensures a good sear and not just steaming.
3
Add the yellow onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Oko 7 min
4
Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Oko 1 min
5
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Add the bay leaf and dried thyme.
Oko 2 min
6
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 1.5 hours.
Oko 1 h 30 min
Napomena kuhara: Maintain a very gentle simmer; the potjiekos should cook slowly without vigorous boiling.
7
Layer the potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash on top of the meat and sauce. Do not stir.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: Layering helps the vegetables steam and cook evenly without becoming mushy.
8
Cover and continue to cook for another 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
Oko 1 h
9
Add the green beans to the top layer, cover, and cook for a final 15 minutes.
Oko 15 min
10
Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 15 minutes before serving.
Oko 15 min
Napomena kuhara: This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the potjiekos to settle.
11
Gently stir the potjiekos just before serving to combine all the ingredients.
