Ingredients
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper cracked
- 1 tsp. Coriander ground
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon ground
- 2 ¼ lbs stew meat cubed
- 1 Tbs vegetable oil

- ½ cup cilantro chopped for garnish
Instructions

- Add the garlic, and continue to cook until the garlic begins to soften.

Notes
- How long can I save the Vietnamese beef stew? You can store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Be sure to allow it to cool completely before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Can I freeze the beef stew? Yes, you must completely cool the stew before freezing. Store in airtight containers for up to 3-4 months. For single servings, freeze portions in a muffin tin and pop out the frozen rounds and store in freezer bags.
- How do I reheat the beef stew? If you are taking the stew from the freezer is it best to take it out a day in advance and thaw it in the refrigerator. Reheat portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on high, check the temperature every 30-45 seconds and stir.
- What cut of beef do I use for making this beef stew? I prefer to use chuck roast or it may also be called chuck shoulder. This cut has more connective tissue and thus more collagen for a rich melt in your mouth texture.
