8 oz or 250 ml (1 cup) beef broth

Steps

In a heated large casserole over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and brown the pork on all sides for 7 to 8 minutes, a small amount at a time. Add more oil as needed. Set the meat aside on a plate.
Lower heat to medium-low, add the onion and the garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the celery, the carrots and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes while stirring. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the beer and scrape the bottom to extract all the flavours.
Add the meat and the rest of the ingredients, except for the beans and the peppers, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.
Add the beans and peppers and mix well. Let simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with basmati rice and garnish with fresh parsley.

Bon appétit!
