INGREDIENTS:
Marinade:
- small packet of frozen calamansi juice (can be substituted with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
Stew:
- 2 pounds beef roast (Chuck roast or Short Ribs or Brisket)
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and cut into ¼ inch slices
- 1 Carrot, cut into ½ inch pieces
- 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- 1-2 bay leaf
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 potato, cut into ½ inch wedges
INSTRUCTIONS:
Marinade:
- In a bowl whisk together soy sauce and calmansi juice.
- Season beef with fresh ground pepper.
- Add beef to bowl and toss in liquid so that meat is coated.
- Cover and marinade in the refrigerator a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Stew:
- On medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot
- Sear the beef buy cooking 2 minutes on each side or until brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onion garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste (around 1 teaspoon).
- Add beef back to pot.
- Add tomato sauce and a ½ cup of water.
- Add bay leaf and sugar.
- Simmer for about an hour and a half on low heat.
- Remove beef from pot, slice and place it back in pot.
- Add the bell pepper and carrots towards the end.
- Cook for an additional 15 minutes or until carrot are soft.
Potatoes:
- In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat.
- Add potatoes and cook until brown and soft.
Plating:
- In a bowl serve stew with potatoes
- You can also serve with white rice (which is awesome)
Notes:
If the gravy for the beef stew is too thick, add a bit more water. Add a quarter cup at a time until it reaches desired thickness. Place a wooden spoon in the pot and place in stew. Remove from pot and draw your finger along the spoon so that it creates a path through the gravy. If the path fills in, the mixture isn't thick enough. If it feels like paste, it is too thick. If it stays put, it's ready.
