INSTRUCTIONS
Combine flour and soy sauce, then stir in tomato paste. Place the beef in a
very large casserole, add the flour mixture and stir until beef cubes are
coated. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir again. Cover tightly,
place in a 450°F oven, and bake 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to
250°F and continue cooking until the meat is just tender, about 2 to 3
hours. Taste for seasoning about an hour before it is done; add more salt
and pepper if needed. Remove from oven and serve with one or more of the
following vegetables. Either add them to the stew and heat briefly, or
serve them at the side on the dinner plates. Choice of vegetables: fresh
celery slices, cooked crisp-tender; freshly cooked carrots; fresh or frozen
peas; small onions, boiled; fresh mushrooms, sauteed; fresh zucchini,
sliced and briefly sauteed; fresh green beans, cooked crisp-tender; small
new potatoes, boiled. This is best done a day ahead, then reheated slowly
in a 275°F oven, but it can be made several days ahead and it freezes well.
