Beef broth adds flavor without alcohol, and grape juice is a non-alcoholic alternative.

Heat a tablespoon of beef fat in a large pot.

Add half of the cubed beef, season with salt and pepper, and brown for about 5-6 minutes per batch.

Remove the browned beef and add another tablespoon of beef fat to the pot.

Add diced onions, minced garlic, sliced celery, parsnips, and carrots to the pot and stir for a few minutes.

Add fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley) and cook for about 5 minutes.

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato ketchup, and tomato paste.

Return the browned beef to the pot and add the tomato pulp and beef stock, ensuring it covers the ingredients.

Simmer for 1 hour before adding the sweet potatoes.

After 1 hour, add the cubed sweet potatoes and simmer for an additional 30-45 minutes.

Season with a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper.

Mix a tablespoon of flour with a couple of tablespoons of water to create a paste, then add to the stew to thicken.

Stir until the gravy thickens, then serve.
