Ingredients

2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil like extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
1 pound meat decide what you are going to use- could be pork loin, OR beef chuck, OR chicken breast/or thighs
1 medium white onion diced
1 ¼ cups water or chicken/beef or vegetable stock
2 pounds potatoes peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons tomato paste or 1 cup tomato sauce (reduce the water/stock)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or dill or 1 teaspoon dried parsley or dill

Instructions

Prepare the Meat: Opt for boneless meat, such as pork loin, beef chuck, chicken thighs, or breasts. Cut into chunks.
Brown the Meat: In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Sear meat chunks until browned on all sides.
Sauté the Onion: Dice one medium onion. Add to the pot with the meat, cooking until translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Simmer: Season with salt and pepper. Add about ¼ cup of warm water or stock, just enough to nearly cover the meat. Cover the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Prepare and Cook the Potatoes: Clean, peel, and cube potatoes into one-inch pieces.
Add potatoes to the pot with a cup of warm water or additional stock. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Add Final Touches: Mix in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, stirring gently.
Finish in the Oven: Transfer the pot to an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. This step helps to concentrate the flavors.
Be careful not to overcook; the stew should remain saucy.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chopped dill before serving.
Note: Ensure your Dutch oven or pot is oven-safe before transferring it to the oven. If not, transfer the stew into an oven-safe dish for the final baking step.

Notes

Versatility: Feel free to swap in your preferred meat or go vegetarian. This stew is forgiving and adaptable.
Herbs: Fresh herbs add a bright touch, but dried ones work well too. Adjust to your taste.
Storage: Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat as needed and enjoy.
