Beef bacon stew with cherry tomatoes and red peppers is a comforting and hearty dish perfect for cozy dinners. This dish combines the rich flavors of beef and bacon with the sweetness of cherry tomatoes and red peppers, creating a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Slice the red pepper into thin strips.
- Cut the beef into bite-size pieces.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- In the same pot with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onions. Cook until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bite-sized beef pieces to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the beef until it's browned on all sides. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of water. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. This will add extra flavor to the stew.
- Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red peppers. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Just before serving, crumble the cooked bacon strips and stir them into the stew for added flavor and texture.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful Beef Bacon Stew with Cherry Tomatoes and Red Peppers!
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of the stew, consider marinating the beef in your favorite spices and herbs for at least an hour before cooking.
- For a thicker stew, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the onions as they are cooking.
- For added richness, consider using beef broth instead of water.
- If you prefer a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon.
- To add a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
This beef bacon stew with cherry tomatoes and red peppers is a wonderfully delicious and easy-to-make dish that is sure to become a favorite.
