Directions

  1. Crumble ground beef into a stockpot set over medium-high heat, add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease except 1 tablespoon of drippings.

  2. Stir carrots, celery, onion, and garlic into the ground beef and drippings, cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, peas, corn, green beans, adobo seasoning, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram, stir until evenly mixed. Add beer, water, and beef base, stir well. Stir in cilantro, lemon juice, and bay leaf. Pour 1/4 cup more water over the mixture if needed to moisten mixture, replenishing as needed while cooking.

  3. Bring soup to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring regularly, until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.

Recipe Note

A citrus, spicy version of a traditional ground beef stew I grew up eating. It's refreshing and very filling. Can be served over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.
