This American dinner classic is made extra rich and delicious by using tapioca as a thickener. The stew cooks low and slow in the oven for a full five hours, resulting in incredibly tender beef and potatoes. It's a hearty meal that serves ten people, combining diced beef tenderloin with potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion in a tomato-vegetable juice base. The long, gentle cooking process allows all the flavours to meld together beautifully.
