  • Instructions
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound beef chuck steak or “stew beef,” cut into large chunks
  • 1 medium white onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 packet chili spice blend
  • 1, 14.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries, chopped (preferably in a food processor)
  • 1, 14.5 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3-4 cups beef broth
  • optional garnish: fresh herbs (parsley and chives recommended)
  • serving suggestion: serve with baked potato or rice
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large dutch oven, add olive oil over medium heat on the stove. After 45-60 seconds, add beef. Brown on all sides, stirring occasionally. Remove beef and set aside.

  3. Add tomatoes, cranberries and beans. Put the beef back into the pot, stir to combine and add 3 cups beef stock. Reserve additional cup of beef stock to add as needed during cooking for desired consistency.
  4. Bring to a simmer, place lid on top and then move to oven for 2 hours, or alternatively, keep covered on low heat on the stove top for 2 hours.
