This Filipino beef giniling stew is one of my favorite comfort foods. My way of making it is pretty easy and doesn't take too long. Serve with white rice.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
2 pounds ground beef
1 ½ cups water, divided, or more as needed
ground black pepper to taste
2 medium red potatoes, cubed
10 baby carrots, or more to taste, cubed
6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
½ cup raisins, or more to taste
1 ½ (6.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce with salt (such as Contadina®)
½ medium orange bell pepper, diced
4 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beef and 1/2 cup water; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with black pepper and add more water as needed; do not let beef dry out.
Add potatoes, carrots, and 3 tablespoons soy sauce; cook for 4 minutes, adding more water if mixture is too dry. Add raisins and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, again adding water as needed.
Pour in one can tomato sauce. Fill the can with water and swirl to remove excess sauce; pour into the saucepan. Stir in remaining 1/2 can sauce until combined. Add more water as needed to create a saucy but not soupy consistency.
Stir in bell pepper, sugar, and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding water as needed so sauce does not dry out, until all vegetables are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
