Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and brown the beef neck bones for 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Lower the heat and sauté chopped onion for 4–5 minutes until soft, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute to deepen its flavor.
  4. Return the neck bones to the pot and add chopped carrots, green beans, corn, smoked paprika, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Pour in beef broth and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 2 to 2.5 hours.
  5. Mix flour with a bit of water to create a slurry and stir into the stew, simmer uncovered for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
  6. Serve over fluffy white rice and garnish with parsley or green onions.

Notes

This stew improves in flavor when made a day in advance. Skimming fat from the surface during cooking can make it lighter.
