Ingredients
- 2 lb Beef chuck
- 4 Potatoes
- 4 Carrots
- 3 stalks Celery
- 1 Onion
- 3 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 6 cups Beef broth
Steps
- Brown the beef hard in batches — the fond on the pot bottom is the stew's flavor savings account.
- Soften the onion, stir in the tomato paste until brick-red, then deglaze with a splash of broth.
- Add everything back with the broth and soy; simmer 90 minutes until the beef yields to a spoon.
- Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery for the last 30 minutes so they hold their shape.
- Serve over rice — in Hawaii, stew without rice is just soup with ambitions.
