Preparation
Bring beef stock to a simmer in a small pot. In a separate, larger pot, heat canola oil. Season cubes of stew meat with salt and pepper, then sauté in the large pot over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, not cooking through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same large pot, add butter, ginger, garlic, and onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until aromatic. Add flour, curry powder, and tomato paste, then stir and cook for a few more minutes. Slowly add the warmed beef stock to this mixture, stirring to avoid lumps. Add carrots, potatoes, bay leaf, and beef, then simmer gently for 30 minutes.
After simmering, add the honey and soy sauce to taste. Serve garnished with chopped green onions, if desired.
