A comforting and flavorful beef and vegetable stew perfect for a cozy meal.
Prepare the vegetables by washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Layer the vegetables, stewed tomatoes, and beef in the Dutch oven.
Start with the vegetables that take longer to cook at the bottom.
Add the white wine, tapioca, brown sugar, and bay leaves.
Mix the tapioca with a bit of water before adding to avoid clumping.
Cover and bake in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 6 to 8 hours.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
