Recipe Hawaii Style Beef Stew

[JoshPosh]

My grandfather use to make this when he was still around. God I loved the way it taste. I hope you enjoy it. The best part about this dish is that it getter better in a day or two as left overs. The beef gets softer after 24 hours.

4 lbs. beef stew meat or chuck roast, 2-inch cubes
1 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 TB vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 large onions, wedges, divided
5 medium potatoes, 1 ½-inch cubes
3 large carrots, 1 ½-2-inch pieces
4 stalks celery, 2-inch pieces
5 c. beef broth
3 c. water
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 TB soy sauce
3 bay leaves
2 dashes Tabasco, as needed
4 TB flour mixed with 1 c. water

Stir in beef broth, water, tomato sauce, tomato paste, soy sauce, bay leaves and tabasco. Stir well to combine. Bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer 1 hour until beef is tender.

This looks delicious. I love beef stews and it is something I make regularly. It is different every time because I tend to use what I have in. This looks a really interesting variation of a beef stew and is something I might try one evening. I will let you know if I do.
