Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the potatoes, carrots, and sweet potato into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Aromatics

    Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion.

Cooking the Stew

  1. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear them on all sides until browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the semi-sweetened tomato sauce, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, and sweet potato to the pot. Stir to incorporate all ingredients.

  5. 7

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Stew

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro if desired.
