This is my updated, documented version of my grandma's delicious beef stew - care packages of it kept me going through cold Ottawa winters in university and always was a source of comfort. Now I'm attempting to return the favour! It really is a "throw in whatever you have" recipe, so have fun with it.

Steps:
- Cube the steak and season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large, heavy pot (I used enameled cast iron).

- Add the remaining olive oil and bring back to temperature, then add the onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms and peppers.
- Cook, stirring, for about 15 minutes, until they begin to soften.
- Add the cauliflower, beans, garlic, fresh tomatoes, corn and potatoes and stir inches.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and broth and stir in the salt, cocoa, allspice, cumin, thyme, paprika, Worcestershire, soy sauce, ketchup and tomato paste.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and add back the beef.
- Partially cover and cook, stirring every hour or so, for 3 hours.
- Cover the pot completely and cook, stirring every hour or so, for 3 hours.
- Stir in the peas and Veloutine, bring back to a boil and cook until thickened.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
