Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs Beef chuck cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic diced
  • 1 large Cabbage chopped
  • 1 large Rutabaga peeled and cut into chunks
  • 14 oz Diced tomatoes
  • 2 large Carrots peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 3 cups Beef stock
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions

  • Brown beef chunks in a dutch oven pot on medium heat using vegetable oil. Remove the beef and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Saute onions, garlic, and carrots 2-3 minutes, seasoning with about a quarter of the spice mix as you go.
  • Add the cabbage and saute another 2 minutes or so.
  • Add the tomatoes and deglaze the pan. Add another quarter of the spices then add in the stock, rutabagas, and bay leaves. Mix well then add the beef back. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and mix in the remaining spices. Cover and cook on low heat for 20 minutes.

Notes

Buy your own chuck roast and cut it yourself instead of buying stew meat. You never know what you’re getting with pre-cut meat. 
Cut beef and rutabagas as uniform as possible each for even cooking. This also helps with serving and eating.  
For a thicker stew like consistency make a slurry of corn starch and water. Simply mix water and starch, stir well, and then add to the stew.
The spice mix gives this soup aroma and flavor. I actually normally use it as a seasoning to fried chicken, but it’s pretty versatile.
