GRANDPA CLARENCE'S HAWAII-STYLE BEEF STEW | slow cooker & instant pot-friendly!

My Hawaiian Grandpa Clarence was one of the most important & influential people in my life. He was an incredible cook & baker, & he embodied the generous spirit of aloha by sharing his 'ono food with everyone that crossed his path. He was known for many of his recipes, but his Hawaii-Style Local Beef Stew is one of my personal favorites. It's seriously the best!

If Hawaii beef stew is new to you, you're in for such a treat! It's just as rich, hearty, & comforting as versions of beef stew that you'll find here on the Mainland, but it has unique umami & tang, which comes from generous amounts of Shoyu (Japanese-style soy sauce) & Worcestershire sauce.

The beef simmers in a tangy tomato gravy with hearty vegetables like carrots, potatoes, & onions (daikon radish is also a great add-in, if you have it on hand!), until the beef is fall-apart tender & the stew is infused with its rich flavor. I like letting it bubble away on the stovetop all day, but the full blog post also includes slow cooker/Crock Pot & pressure cooker/Instant Pot directions, too.

Serve with sticky white rice for a taste of aloha straight from Grandpa Clarence's kitchen to yours! 🌺🤙🏼 ♡ Happy cooking!
