Chile con Carne (Chilean Beef Stew)
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 1 pound beef, cut into 1-inch cubes (you can use beef shank, beef brisket, or beef chuck)
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Add the onions, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Serve the Chile con Carne hot, garnished with chopped cilantro (if using).
Traditional Chilean Touches:

- Add some chopped fresh cilantro on top for extra flavor and color.
- For a more authentic touch, use a Chilean red wine, such as Carmenère or Cabernet Sauvignon.
