Jamaican-Style Beef Stew

Set yuca out to thaw (up to 1 hour). Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place beef, salt, pepper, and flour in bag (wash hands); seal tightly and shake to coat beef. Place oil in pot, then add beef, reserving any flour left in bag; cook 3–4 minutes, flipping often, until brown on all sides. Meanwhile, chop garlic (1 tablespoon) and grate ginger (1 teaspoon). Remove beef from pan; set aside.

Add garlic and ginger to same pot; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Add wine; simmer 3–4 minutes until reduced by about one-half.

Return beef to pot and stir in reserved flour; cook and stir 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low; add stock, then cover and simmer 45 minutes. Remove fibrous core from yuca and discard; chop yuca into bite-size pieces. Peel sweet potato and chop into bite-size pieces.

Add both vegetables to stew about 30 minutes into cook time; cook 15–20 more minutes until vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and beef is 145°F. Serve.
