CURRIED BEEF STEW

Curried Beef Stew image

My mother, who was Japanese, made a dish very similar to this. After a lot of experimenting, I came up with a version that is very close to the one she used to make. This beef curry stew recipe is special to me because it brings back memories of her. -Gloria Gowins, Massillon, Ohio
