Hawaiian Braised Beef Stew
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 pounds stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 5 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, cut into chunks
  • 10 cups water
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons salt, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. Introduce the beef, stirring constantly until it develops a rich brown hue, approximately 10 minutes have passed. Incorporate garlic into the mixture; allow it to release its fragrance, taking around 2-3 minutes. Introduce wine into the pot; continue to cook until all alcohol has evaporated, roughly 5 minutes have elapsed. Add celery and onions to the pot; cook until they become tender, about 5 minutes have passed.
2
Pour a substantial quantity of water – approximately 10 cups – into the pot. Introduce tomato paste, salt, sugar, bay leaves, and pepper into the stew. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Gradually reduce heat to a lower setting, ensuring it remains at a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and allow the stew to cook until the beef has reached its tender stage, approximately 1 hour have passed.
3
Add carrots into the stew; cook until they exhibit slight tenderness, roughly 10 minutes have passed. Introduce potatoes into the stew; cook until they become tender, taking anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes.
4
Combine cornstarch and a quarter cup of water in a separate container; stir until the mixture is well combined. Add this mixture to the stew, allowing it to simmer and thicken until it reaches a desired consistency, approximately 3 minutes.
