Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the beef in a saucepan and add enough water to completely cover it. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
While the beef simmers, heat olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, coriander, five-spice powder, and turmeric, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated; cook for another 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, apples, carrots, parsnips, and zucchini, then stir in the cooked beef, its cooking liquid, raisins, and cashews.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the prepared roasting pan. Drizzle ½ cup of water evenly over the top. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the beef and vegetables are fully tender, approximately 1 hour.
