Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 4 large Carrots
• 3 Celery stalks
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-to-1.5-inch cubes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side), then transfer to the slow cooker.

Step 3

Peel the carrots and potatoes, then dice them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the celery and yellow onion thinly. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 4

Layer the carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, garlic, and ginger on top of the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Set the slow cooker to low heat. Cover and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 7

In the last 15 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew to thicken it.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the ginger beef stew hot with crusty bread or over steamed rice, if desired.
