Hướng dẫn

Step 1

This recipe can be made entirely on the stovetop, or you can do Steps 5 and 7 in the oven. If using the oven, arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F; make sure your pot is oven-safe.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the boneless beef chuck roast pieces and sear, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Add the remaining beef to the pot and repeat searing. Transfer all of the beef to the plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 thinly sliced medium yellow onion and 5 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Cook until the onion is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 3 cups water, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar, 3 dried bay leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 4

Return the beef chuck roast pieces and their accumulated juices to the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Cover and transfer the pot to the oven, or cover and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in 1 pound peeled and chopped Yukon Gold potatoes and 8 ounces peeled and chopped carrots. Scatter 1 chopped large red bell pepper over the top.

Step 7

Cover and return to the oven, or bring back to a simmer and cover again. Cook until the beef is very tender, about 1 hour more.

Step 8

Remove and discard the bay leaves if desired. Serve with steamed white rice.
