This warm and hearty stew is an aromatic welcome after a long day. Serve over rice with sautéed snow peas or steamed edamame. Even if you don't have time to marinate the ingredients overnight, keep in mind that the stew will still be delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 cup beef broth*
1 (10-ounce) bottle hoisin sauce*

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece peeled ginger, grated
1 1/2 pounds cubed round or chuck stew beef

Method

Whisk together broth, hoisin, hot sauce, garlic and ginger in a wide, shallow dish or bowl. Add beef, onions, carrots and celery and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Transfer meat mixture to a slow cooker, cover and cook on a low setting until beef is very tender, 6 to 8 hours. Alternately, cook on a high setting for about 3 hours. Ladle into bowls and serve.
