For a richer flavor, sear the beef in a separate pan before adding it to the vegetables. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or celery, to customize the stew to your liking. A bay leaf added during the simmering process can enhance the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it into the stew during the last few minutes of cooking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables begin to soften (approximately 8-10 minutes).
02
StepStir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and cubed beef. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the beef is browned, stirring frequently to prevent sticking (approximately 25-30 minutes).
03
StepWhile the beef and vegetables are cooking, place the thickly sliced potatoes in a separate 2-quart saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender but still slightly firm (approximately 12-15 minutes). Drain the potatoes thoroughly and set aside.
04
StepIn the same 2-quart saucepan, pour in 1 1/2 quarts of water. Add the crumbled beef bouillon cubes and bring to a boil, stirring until the bouillon is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
05
StepIn a large mixing bowl or stock pot, carefully combine the broth and the vegetable-beef mixture. Gently stir in the cooked potatoes until everything is well combined. Ensure the stew is heated through before serving. Enjoy hot!
