Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 carrot, (7-1/2")s carrots, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ pounds chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon molasses
2 leaf (blank)s bay leaves
1 cup dried red lentils
½ cup dried apricots, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add beef. Sprinkle salt, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, coriander, and allspice over beef and vegetables. Stir to mix. Continue to cook mixture until beef is browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
