    2      cups          Water
    2      tablespoons   Quick cook tapioca
    1 1/2  pounds        Beef stew meat -- 1 cubes
    3      tablespoons   Cooking oil
    2      medium        Onions -- quartered
    8      ounces        Tomato sauce
      1/3  cup           Dry red wine
    1      tablespoon    Brown sugar

 In a bowl, combine the water and tapioca; let stand at least 5 minutes.
