Instructions

1. Brown the beef/steak

   5-10 minutes

   Add the wok to the stove, and set to a high heat for a few minutes.

   Add a splash of oil, then the meat.

   Allow the meat to brown on all sides, 'stirring' occassionally.

   Once browned drain the fat.

2. Add the flavour (and celery)

   3-5 minutes

   Add the onion, celery, seasonings, and puree to the wok.

   Stir thoroughly so that the puree and seasoning covers everything.

   Slowly stir-fry for 1-3 minutes.

3. Add the liquids

   15-20 minutes

   Add the chopped tomatos, and the stock to the wok.

   Mix the contents together.

   Season to taste with salt/pepper. If unsure, just leave it as is.

   Bring to a boil, then reduce the stoves heat.

   Cover the wok with a lid, or some tinfoil, and leave to sit for 15-20 minutes.

4. Add large veg

   20-25 minutes

   Add the cornstarch mixture to the stew, and mix through.

   Add the carrot, and potato to the wok.

   Bring the stew back to a boil, then reduce the heat.

   Re-cover the wok and leave for 20-25 minutes.

5. Add small veg

   10-15 minutes

   Add the peas, and corn, and mix through the stew.

   Re-cover the wok again, and leave for another 10-15 minutes.

6. Simmer or serve

   0-60 minutes

   The stew should be good to serve now, however if you'd like it a little thicker, or the beef/veg a little softer then leave to simmer for up to an hour.
