Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef stew meat — For a more tender result, choose a cut of beef that is suitable for slow cooking, such as chuck or brisket.
- Jalapeno pepper — Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper according to your desired level of spiciness. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, you can add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce to the stew.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.
- This stew tastes even better the next day, so consider making it in advance and reheating it for a quick and flavorful meal.
