1 tbsp garlic paste

1 tbsp ginger paste

---

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef

Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.

Season with salt and pepper (1 tsp each).



2. Brown the Beef

Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the beef and brown for 5-8 minutes, ensuring all sides are seared.

Remove the beef and set aside.



3. Saute Aromatics

In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of oil.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 1 minute.

Stir in garlic paste and ginger paste, cooking for another 2 minutes.



4. Add Spices and Flour

Add paprika, Cajun seasoning, beef seasoning, and curry powder.

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.



5. Incorporate Tomato Paste and Stock

Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.

Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps.



6. Simmer the Beef

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Return the browned beef to the pan.

Add rosemary leaves.

Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours.



7. Add Vegetables

After 2 hours, add the diced carrots and halved potatoes to the stew.

Cook until the vegetables are tender (approximately 15 minutes).



8. Finish and Garnish

Adjust seasoning if needed.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.



Enjoy your hearty, flavorful beef stew!
