Ingredients
Instructions
  • Season the beef with 1 tbsp minced garlic, pepper, salt, sugar and chicken stock (1 tsp each). Mix well and set aside for 15-30 minutes.
  • Heat a large pot on medium high and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Then add some minced garlic and fry until fragrant. Then toss in the beef and stir fry until the color changes.
  • Add a cup of tomato sauce and mix well. Then add 6 cups of 1/2 liter of water (or 2 cups of coconut juice and 4 cups of water). Cover the lid and lower the heat. Cook for 45 minutes (or 15 minutes if you cook with a pressure cooker)
  • Because the carrots take more time to cook, we're gonna add them in first. Then cover and cook for 10 minutes. And then add in the potatoes. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes until soft. Finally add the onion and the baked beans and turn off the heat. Have a taste and add 1-2 tsp salt.
  • Transfer to a bowl and garnish with some cilantro. Serve beef ragout with some Banh mi or crispy baguette.

Notes:  Some ketchup brands are sweeter than others. Please use tomato sauce if you want to have better control of the sweetness of your ragout.
