Directions

  1. Cut the piece of beef into 6 large chunks (one per serving). Place the beef into a large saucepan, pour in the beef broth and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until nearly tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

  2. Stir the polenta into the stew along with the potatoes and onion. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Cut the pumpkin into 6, serving-sized pieces, and add to the stew along with the corn, carrot, bell pepper, celery, and leek, simmer until the vegetables are tender, adding more water if needed to barely cover. Stir in the oregano and paprika during the last 5 minutes.

  3. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
