INGREDIENTS​

• 2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.22)
• 1 1/2 lbs. beef stew meat ($6.97)
• 1 medium yellow onion ($0.76)
• 2 inches fresh ginger ($0.33)
• 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic ($0.12)
• 1/2 Tbsp allspice ($0.07)
• 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon ($0.07)
• 1 cup red wine, optional ($2.52)
• 3 oz. tomato paste ($0.28)
• 1 Tbsp honey ($0.11)
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper ($0.02)
• 1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
• 3 cups water ($0.00)
• 7 whole dried apricots ($0.62)
• 1/4 cup raisins ($0.14)
• 1 1/2 cups dry jasmine rice ($0.72)

Directions​

1. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the beef. Cook the beef until it's well-browned and all the juices have evaporated, which should take about 15 minutes.
2. While the beef is cooking, dice the onion. Peel the ginger with a vegetable peeler or spoon, then grate about 2 inches of it. Add the diced onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pot with the beef, cooking until tender, around 5 minutes.
3. Next, add the allspice and cinnamon, stirring and cooking for about a minute. Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot. If you’re not using wine, water in the next step will achieve the same result.
4. Add water, tomato paste, honey, crushed red pepper, and salt to the pot, stirring well to dissolve the tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for an hour.
5. Meanwhile, cook the jasmine rice. Combine the dry rice and 3 cups of water in a medium pot. Bring it to a boil with the lid on. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let it simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pot sit undisturbed until you're ready to serve.
6. After the stew has simmered for an hour, roughly chop the apricots and add them to the stew along with the raisins. Let the stew simmer for another 15-20 minutes without the lid to thicken. You might need to slightly increase the heat to maintain a simmer without the lid.
7. Fluff the rice with a fork, pile some into a bowl, and then ladle the stew on top.
   
   Enjoy!
