Honey Beef Stew

I bought a big sirloin tip roast at Sam's and had a ton left over, cooked rare. I cut it into half to one inch chunks. Browned an onion and a couple of cloves in garlic until it was light brown. Added the beef and browned quickly. I had maybe half a pound of carrots from the garden, and 3/4 pound of little Yukon potatoes. Then a good half-bottle of leftover red wine, and a large can of crushed tomatoes. Actually I used a big bag of frozen garden tomatoes. A handful of herbs from the garden, especially sage and rosemary. Then a LOT of honey, maybe half a cup at least, the whole thing is very acid from the wine and the tomatoes, the honey gets it sweet and sour.... simmer in a dutch oven for a couple of hours covered, then uncover, and a couple of squeezes of ketchup and simmer for a while longer while it thickens.
