Steps

    1. Chop yellow onion coarsely (1 cup); grate apple. Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season beef with salt and pepper (wash hands). Place oil in pot; add beef (in batches) and cook 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
    2. Add yellow onions to same pot; cook and stir 4–5 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Add garlic, ginger, and apples to pot; cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apple starts to break down. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring often. Add curry, garam masala, stock, and beef; bring to a boil.
    3. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 45 minutes. Meanwhile, peel potato and carrots and cut into 1 inch cubes.
    4. Add carrots and potatoes to pot; cook 30 more minutes or until vegetables are tender and beef is 145°F.
    5. Prepare rice following package instructions during last 20 minutes of cook time. Stir soy sauce and sugar into stew; serve over rice, topped with green onions, if using.
