Spicy Beef Stew

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 24 oz beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 large shallots, sliced
  • 1 lb baby carrots
  • 4 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1⁄4 tsp cayenne
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 5 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1⁄3 cup chopped mint

Directions

  1. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over high. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper, add to skillet, and sauté until cooked to desired doneness, about 2 minutes for medium-rare.

  2. Transfer beef to a bowl. Add remaining oil to skillet. Add shallots and carrots and sauté until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add all spices; stir for 30 seconds.

  3. Add flour; stir for 30 seconds. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until carrots are just tender.

  4. Return beef to skillet; cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with mint.
