Beef and Vegetable Stew with a spicy kick has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. This hearty dish has evolved over time, with each culture adding its own unique twist. In Mexico, chefs use ancho and guajillo chilies to infuse the stew with a smoky heat, while in Thailand, lemongrass and bird's eye chilies add a fiery kick. The best version of this dish can be found in the bustling markets of New Orleans, where Cajun chefs expertly blend cayenne pepper and paprika for a bold flavor.
