Cook stew meat in 1 quart of water until tender (this will take at least 2 hours). Save any meat juices for stew.

Saute ginger, garlic, and yellow onion in olive oil until soft. Add red pepper, potatoes, dried fruit, spices, diced tomatoes, garbanzo beans, stew meat, and any beef juices saved. Add water as needed to thin out. Cook until potatoes are tender. Season with salt. Is great with couscous.
