  1. Peel the onions and cut them into coarse pieces. Finely chop the garlic.
  2. Cut the beef into 3 x 3 cm pieces and season with salt and pepper. Brown the meat over high heat in some olive oil.
  3. Turn down the heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes, stock, and balsamic vinegar and stir everything together. Place the lid slightly ajar on the pan and let the stew cook for 2.5 to 3 hours.
