Ingredients

2 pound beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (chopped)
4 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
2 cup beef broth
1 cauliflower (large head, cut into florets)
2 bunch Swiss chard (large, tough stems removed, chopped)
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Pat beef stew meat dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches on all sides. Remove browned beef and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until beef is nearly tender.
Add cauliflower florets to the pot. Stir in chopped Swiss chard. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and beef is fork-tender.
Serve the spiced beef stew hot.

Notes

For even more tender beef, you can braise the stew longer on low heat. Taste and adjust spices as needed before serving.
