Mise en place
- Medium-dice the potatoes.

- Halve the carrots lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces.

Prepare & sear the meatballs

Start the stew

- Add the potatoes, onions, celery, carrots and remaining garlic.
- Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to soften; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add the tomato paste and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
- Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 min., until a paste forms.
Finish the stew & meatballs
- To the pan, add the demi-glace, Worcestershire sauce, 2 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions), the meatballs and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, partially covered, 14 to 16 min., until the vegetables are tender and the meatballs* are cooked through.
