Instructions

Coat the beef with cornstarch and season it well with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then brown the beef on all sides for about five minutes, stirring often.
Add minced garlic and tomato paste, then cook for a minute or two until you can smell the aromas.
Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the pot to lift the browned bits, then add potatoes, pearl onions, carrots, celery, sugar, and all the dried spices. Stir everything together well.
Bring the stew to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 90 to 120 minutes, stirring here and there until the beef is tender.
Mix the remaining cornstarch with cold water until smooth, pour it into the stew slowly while stirring, and cook for a few more minutes until the gravy thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve the stew hot.
