  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lay fries out on a baking sheet.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until crispy and golden brown, 13 to 18 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Season beef with salt and pepper, then gently add to the pot until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate and reserve remaining oil in the pot.
  2. 2 Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, cilantro, and oregano to the pot; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 8 minutes.
  3. 3 Pour in chicken broth and tomatoes, then return beef to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beef is beginning to turn tender, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Add lentils, then cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Season again with salt and pepper, then stir in parsley. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
