A hearty and flavorful beef stew, slow-cooked to perfection with tender vegetables and a rich broth.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel and chop the potatoes, carrots, and onions into bite-sized pieces.
Uniformly sized pieces cook evenly.
In a large baking dish, combine the chopped vegetables, beef cubes, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, tapioca, and beef broth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
A tight seal prevents moisture loss.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 5 hours without opening the foil.
Resist the urge to peek to maintain the cooking temperature.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the flavors to settle.
