Carbonada chilena is a traditional brothy stew originating from Chile. The soup-like stew is usually prepared with a combination of beef (often chuck roast), potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, celery, onions, pumpkin, corn, peas, garlic, paprika, oregano, beef stock, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

The ingredients are placed in a pot and simmered until the vegetables become tender and the meat is fully cooked. If desired, some cooked rice can be spooned over the dish before serving. This nourishing stew is ideal for colder days in autumn or winter, when it's eaten as comfort food.
