    From the Test Kitchen

    To give this comforting dish its bold, Spanish-style flavor, we’re coating beef and vegetables with a blend of traditional spices (like paprika, coriander, and more), then simmering it all in a rustic tomato and romesco sauce to serve over ditali pasta.

    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.

    3 Cook the beef & vegetables

    Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef, sliced carrots, sliced pepper, and spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.

    4 Make the sauce

    To the pan, add the tomato sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), romesco sauce, and 1/4 cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened and the beef is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
