00:00You won't see this coming, the tastiest and easiest way to prepare a meat stew.
00:08We're going to prepare the ultimate hearty comfort food, and you're all thinking about beans and lentils.
00:15But no, it's meat with potatoes, just like that, just like that.
00:21Pay attention or you'll miss it. It's so simple and quick that it'll blow your mind.
00:26A splash of oil in a pot, three cloves of garlic sliced.
00:31Brown them a little over medium heat, and when they start to turn golden, just a bit, add half an
00:38onion, also finely chopped.
00:41Let it cook gently, but make sure to stir it from time to time.
00:46Meanwhile, chop half a bell pepper and do the same.
00:50Look, cut it into strips, and once you have the strips, turn them and cut them all at once, making
00:57lots of little cubes.
00:59Isn't it easy?
01:00Well, I do the same with the onion and a bunch of vegetables.
01:04Easy, quick, and looks great.
01:08We add it to the pot, and just like before, we stir it and cook until the vegetables start to
01:14get soft.
01:16On the other hand, we're going to take the meat, a whole package, about 500 grams.
01:22We add salt to taste and also, and this is essential, freshly ground black pepper, which gives it an amazing
01:30kick.
01:32You stir it a little to mix everything and set it aside like that, already seasoned with salt and pepper.
01:40Isn't it easy?
01:41Well, today everything is easy.
01:44We take the pot, add the meat we just seasoned with salt and pepper and all that,
01:50and we keep stirring it, little by little, until it starts browning.
01:55We just want to sear it, what they call searing, which means it changes color completely.
02:01Once you have it, cover it with water and start cooking.
02:06Depending on the type of meat you use, it will take a little more or a little less time.
02:11And if you want to enhance the flavor with a teaspoon of meat stock concentrate, even better.
02:17It always packs a real punch.
02:21Of course, to cook the meat, I recommend you cover the pot.
02:25That way it will be much faster.
02:28Once the meat is tender, check it with a knife.
02:31If the knife goes in easily, the meat is ready.
02:35Time to add the potatoes.
02:37You can put them in sliced, you can put them in pieces,
02:40but if you snap them into chunks, even better.
02:44They release more starch, making the sauce even tastier.
02:47And now, let it cook for about 20 minutes.
02:51Until the potato is soft, I recommend doing it with the pot uncovered
02:56so the sauce reduces and gets more flavorful.
03:00Now it's time to enjoy.
03:01Look at this amazing meal I'm dishing up for myself.
03:05Jealous yet?
03:06Look, look, look.
03:07Look at this dish we prepared.
03:09In no time at all, a hearty stew that's always good,
03:13perfect for winter, but you can enjoy it all year round.
03:18Remember to use good meat, one that you like,
03:22pork, beef, turkey, whatever you prefer.
03:28Can you guess what this one is made of?
03:34Ah, delicious.
03:35It makes your mouth water.
03:37I hope you like the idea.
