Fremgangsmåde
Trin for trin
- 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
Ca. 10 min.
- 2
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Dry meat browns better, creating more flavor.
- 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
Ca. 3 min.
- 4
Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add the beef and sear until browned on all sides.
Ca. 10 min.
Kokkens note: Don't move the meat too often to allow a deep brown crust to form.
- 5
Return all the beef to the pot, pour in the water, and scrape the bottom with a spoon to release any flavorful browned bits.
Ca. 1 min.
- 6
Add the chopped onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, green beans, green bell pepper, minced garlic, canned tomatoes, drained water chestnuts, sugar, tapioca starch, and the bay leaf to the pot.
Ca. 5 min.
- 7
Stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined.
Ca. 1 min.
- 8
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Ca. 1 min.
- 9
Bake for 3.5 hours, or until the beef is exceptionally tender and the sauce has thickened.
Ca. 3 t. 30 min.
Kokkens note: The long, slow cooking time is key to tender meat and deep flavor.
- 10
Carefully remove the pot from the oven and let it rest, covered, for at least 10 minutes.
Ca. 10 min.
Kokkens note: Resting allows the flavors to meld and the meat to reabsorb some juices.
- 11
Find and discard the bay leaf before serving the stew.
Ca. 1 min.
