For a richer flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to suit your spice preference. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can simmer the stew on the stovetop in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Check occasionally and add more broth if needed. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.

Mar 14, 2025This recipe is fantastic! The flavor is so complex and the beef is incredibly tender. I used coconut milk instead of beef broth for an even richer taste.

May 18, 2024The stew was a little too spicy for my kids, so next time I'll reduce the amount of jalapeno.
