Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 4 pounds stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup red wine

  • 5 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 onion, cut into chunks

  • 10 cups water

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 2 tablespoons salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook until aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; cook until alcohol has cooked off, about 5 minutes. Add celery and onions; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

  2. Pour 10 cups water into the pot. Add tomato paste, salt, sugar, bay leaves, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low. Cover and cook stew until beef is tender, about 1 hour.
