Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups corned beef, cooked and diced
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients
- Parsley or thyme for garnish
- Optional: cabbage for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat to create a base for the stew and begin softening the vegetables.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onion, sliced carrot, and chopped celery to the pot and sauté until they are softened and fragrant, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the beef broth. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring the potatoes will cook through.
- Simmer the Stew: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.
- Add Corned Beef: Stir in the cooked and diced corned beef, allowing it to heat through evenly by cooking for an additional 5–10 minutes.
- Season and Garnish: Season the stew with salt, pepper, and optional fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme to enhance the flavor. Stir to combine well.
- Serve Warm: Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with additional herbs.
