Caribbean beef stew cooked slow
This isn't your mother's beef stew unless of course, she hails from the Caribbean. And although my mother was born in Georgia, she loved this beef stew, because of the "new little orange and black bits" that tasted great, orange being papaya and black being passion fruit seeds.
