How to Prepare:
- In a glass bowl generously salt and pepper the beef chunks and set aside
- In a large pot over medium heat add olive oil, followed by beef chuck and bay leaves, sear meat until brown both sides, then add flour to mixture
- Transfer the beef to a large glass bowl and turn down the heat to medium low
- Add onions, garlic, ginger, to the pot. Sauté until it’s tender and turns translucent but NOT brown, simmer and gently stir with heat resistant rubber spoon.
- Add the carrots, potatoes and continuing sautéing until started to brown. Then continuing adding celery, squash, fire roasted tomatoes, dry wine, Hoisin sauce, roasted beef base, mixing well and return the beef to the pot as well. Then add water cover the pot and cook for about 1 hour on low simmer. The meat and vegetables should fall apart when prodded with a fork.
- Check periodically to see that all the liquid hasn’t evaporated and add a little water if necessary. In between add the red bell pepper, and salt as you like.
- After completely cooked, take off the heat, discard bay leaves and pour the soup into serving bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, pumpkin seeds and serve it hot.
