Title: Quick Pork Stew Meat
Ingredients:
– 1 lb pork stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 bay leaf
– 4 cups beef broth
– 2 tbsp tomato paste
– 1 cup frozen peas
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork stew meat pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, paprika, and add the bay leaf. Stir everything together to coat the vegetables with the herbs and spices.
4. Pour in the beef broth and add the tomato paste. Give it a good stir to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Return the browned pork stew meat back into the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer for about 1 hour or until the pork is tender.
6. About 10 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas to the stew. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the peas cook through and the flavors meld together.
7. Remove the bay leaf from the stew before serving. Ladle the warm stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
