Tomato Beef Stew

Let’s get cooking

1. 01

   Brown the beef

   Pat beef dry. Heat oil over medium-high heat and lightly brown in batches; transfer to a clean plate.

2. 02

   Soften the base

   In the same pot cook onion, ginger, and tomatoes for 5 minutes, scraping any browned bits with a splash of water.

3. 03

   Slowly simmer

   Return beef, add soy sauce and enough hot water to nearly cover. Simmer covered 80–100 minutes until nearly tender.

4. 04

   Add potatoes

   Add potatoes and simmer 20–25 minutes until both beef and potatoes are tender. Add hot water as needed.

5. 05

   Taste and serve

   Season with salt. If the broth is thin, simmer briefly uncovered; stop before potatoes break apart.
