Ingredients:

1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon five-spice powder

In a large pot, brown the beef stew meat over medium-high heat.
Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until softened.
Stir in gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce, tomato paste, and five-spice powder, coating the meat and vegetables evenly.
Add the sliced carrots to the pot and pour in the beef broth.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours or until the meat is tender.
Skim off any excess fat from the surface and adjust seasoning if necessary.
