🥔🥩 Hearty Ranch Beef & Garden Veggie Stew 🥔🥩
Ingredients:
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 (1-ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a little kick!)
Directions:
1️⃣ In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides. This creates a delicious depth of flavor!
2️⃣ Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3️⃣ Pour in the beef broth and stir in the ranch dressing mix. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
4️⃣ Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
5️⃣ Stir in the green beans. Cook
