  • Heat 1/2 tbsp of cooking oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Add water, bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 2 hours.

  • Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the beef broth from the chuck roast and bring it to a gentle boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the chopped carrots, curry roux, and the secret ingredient you’d like. Let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, partially covered, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking on the bottom of the pot until it thickens.
