Spiced Beef Stew With Carrots and Mint image

Got this in an email for a recipe exchange. Sounds delicious with an interesting combination of ingredients. Would be a nice Shabbat meal and the ingredients are in line with Sephardic cooking. You can make this ahead of time and reheat in a crockpot or on the stove too.
