Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 pounds stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup red wine
5 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 onion, cut into chunks
10 cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces, or to taste
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup water

Steps:

Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook until aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; cook until alcohol has cooked off, about 5 minutes. Add celery and onions; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Pour 10 cups water into the pot. Add tomato paste, salt, sugar, bay leaves, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low. Cover and cook stew until beef is tender, about 1 hour.
Place carrots into the stew; cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes; cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cup water together in a bowl; add to the stew. Let simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.
