Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Beef Tagine

  • Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
  • Add 1 pound of beef chuck chunks to the pot, ensuring they have enough space to brown. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until the beef is browned on all sides.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, ground coriander, ground ginger, cinnamon, paprika, and ½ teaspoon of turmeric. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook this fragrant mixture for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Next, introduce 1 cup each of sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped dried apricots, and diced tomatoes into the pot. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • During the last 15 minutes of cooking, toss in 1 cup of peas, gently stirring them into the Beef Tagine.
  • Once the Beef Tagine is fully cooked, serve it hot alongside fluffy couscous or crusty bread.

Notes

For best results, use beef chuck or brisket for tender meat. Adjust seasoning gradually during cooking.
