Instructions:
• Sear the Meat: In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
• Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and softened.
• Build the Base: Return the beef to the pot and add carrots, potatoes, and celery. Stir well.
• Simmer the Stew: Pour in the beef broth and canned tomatoes. Add salt, pepper, thyme, bay leaf, and paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours.
• Add Final Ingredients: Stir in corn, green beans, and barley or rice (if using). Continue simmering for another 30 minutes until everything is tender and flavors meld together.
• Serve & Enjoy: Remove the bay leaf and serve hot with crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
