For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in bacon fat instead of olive oil. Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to your liking for a spicier stew. Fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, can be added during the last few minutes of cooking for a brighter flavor. If you don't have cooking sherry, dry red wine can be used as a substitute. This stew is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened and translucent (approximately 5 minutes).
02
Step
0 mins
Add diced potatoes, tomato puree, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, 12 cups of water, Italian seasoning, beef bouillon granules, cooking sherry, minced garlic, Sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, dried rosemary, salt, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
03
Step
3 mins
In a separate small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water until a smooth slurry is formed. Gradually pour the flour mixture into the boiling stew, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to boil for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the stew begins to thicken.
04
Step
20 mins
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, approximately 20 minutes.
05
Step
5 mins
Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through and tender-crisp. Remove bay leaves before serving.
