In short: Learn how to create a rich, flavorful Beef and Chorizo Stew with Polenta using a 'cheaters' method designed for busy weeknights. This guide breaks down a high-impact meal that balances savory meats with creamy textures.

The recipe utilizes a combination of 1 pound of ground beef and 200g of sliced dried chorizo to build a deep flavor base. By frying the chorizo first, the oil is infused with spice before the beef and garlic are browned. The stew is rounded out with 540 mL of pureed tomatoes, beef stock, and a handful of rosemary leaves.

The dish is served over a creamy polenta base. The preparation involves simmering milk with salt and pepper before gradually whisking in the polenta for 2-3 minutes. The final touch involves whisking in 50g of unsalted butter and 80g of grated parmesan to achieve a smooth, rich consistency.
