The Best Beef Stew image

This recipe is from Cooking From the Heart by Sam Choy. A few years ago Sam Choy had a restaurant hidden in the middle of the Industrial area in Kona, on the Big Island. It wasn't big on atmosphere, but the food was wonderful and very popular. I've had this stew there and it's truly a favorite of mine.
