   Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

   Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add the beef and sear until browned on all sides.

   調理のヒント： Don't move the meat too often to allow a deep brown crust to form.

5. 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.

   調理のヒント： The long, slow cooking time is key to tender meat and deep flavor.

    Carefully remove the pot from the oven and let it rest, covered, for at least 10 minutes.
