Here is how you make Vietnamese Hearty Beef Stew:

This is a spectacular and authentic dish that is very filling and low fat. It is well worth the effort of making it Make the marinade first by combining all ingredients. Place in a large bowl and mix with beef. Cover and leave for 30 mins while preparing other ingredients.Heat oil in a large wok of pan, and fry onion and garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef with marinade and brown on all sides (do not over stir or beef will not brown). Add water, tomato paste, star anise and bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer uncovered for one hour and then add vegetables and lime leaves, cook for a further 20 minutes and then serve.Serves 6-8Preparation time 20 mins plus 30 mins for marinatingCooking time 1 hr and 25 mins.Substitution notes and other bits:Do not ear anise pods or kaffir lime leaves!!!If you cannot find daikon radish, then just miss this ingredient out.If you cannot find star anise, substitute a pinch or 2 of anise powder.It doesn't matter what cut of beef you use. I can eat this straight after cooking, or use a cheaper cut and cook for a little longer.I tend to use more chili with seeds, and decrease the starchy potato and add other veg. This is great to freeze.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GINGERNUTTA.
