Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop, adding beef broth or water to adjust consistency if needed. This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Variations: Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or mushrooms for extra texture. Substitute with ground beef if stew meat isn’t available. Make it dairy-free by using dairy-free sour cream and Parmesan cheese alternatives.
