Ingredients
 
 

Marinade Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Miso Paste
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • ⅓ cup Mirin
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 cloves Garlic - peeled and finely grated
  • 1 inch Fresh Ginger - peeled and finely grated
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper

Stew Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Beef Stew Meat - cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch (Cornflour)
  • 1 Onion - diced
  • 1½ cups Beef Broth

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped Parsley

Instructions
 

Marinate The Beef

  • Whisk the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, honey, garlic and ginger together in a small bowl until combined.
  • Place the beef pieces in a large bowl or large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over, making sure everything is well mixed.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour - although ideally overnight if you have time.

Make The Stew

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch Oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the marinated beef pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Sear the meat on all sides until browned, then transfer to a plate.
  • Sprinkle the seared meat with the cornstarch and set aside.
  • Fry the diced onions in the same pan until starting to soften, for around 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan by pouring in the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a boil then turn the heat down so it is simmering.
  • Return the seared beef pieces to the pan, place a lid on top and turn the heat to very low (note - it should be barely bubbling).
  • Simmer on low for around 2½ - 3 hours. Stir occasionally and add more broth if necessary. Cook until the meat is fork tender and the flavors have really come together.
  • Taste and season with more soy sauce, sea salt or black pepper as necessary.
  • Serve with chopped parsley, if using.
