The shop is open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Head to the kitchen and interact with the cash register to browse available recipes. The Tomato Beef Stew recipe costs 770 Coins.1818Recipe availability at Aureleaf Kitchen can rotate on a weekly basis, so if the Tomato Beef Stew recipe is not in stock during your visit, check back the following week. Higher Crafting tiers may also unlock additional recipe stock.2020Ingredient Sourcing2222Beef2424Unlike many farming sims, Starsand Island does not involve butchering animals. Instead, Beef is purchased directly from Zerine's General Store in Starsand Town. You can also occasionally find Beef in treasure chests or receive it as a quest reward. Because Beef must be bought rather than farmed, keeping a stockpile on hand is important if you plan to cook Tomato Beef Stew regularly. Each serving requires 3 Beef, which makes this one of the more meat-intensive recipes.2626Tomato2828Tomato is a fruit crop that grows during Spring and Summer. Seeds cost 140 Coins each and are available from seed vendors. Tomatoes take about 4.5 days to mature, and each seed yields 2 tomatoes per harvest with 2 harvests per planting. Individual tomatoes sell for 103 Coins. Since you only need 2 Tomatoes per stew, even a small tomato plot will keep you well supplied.3030Potato3232Potato is one of the most versatile crops in the game because it grows in all four seasons. Seeds cost just 45 Coins, and the growth cycle is 3.6 days. Each planting yields 4 potatoes, so a single harvest easily covers the 2 Potatoes needed per serving. Potatoes also sell for 32 Coins each, making them an inexpensive ingredient overall.3434Profitability3636Tomato Beef Stew sells for 498 Coins per serving. To evaluate whether cooking this dish is worthwhile, consider the raw ingredient costs:3838Cost ComponentAmountBeef (3 units)Varies (purchased from Zerine)Tomato (2 units, raw sell value)206 Coins (103 each)Potato (2 units, raw sell value)64 Coins (32 each)Raw Ingredient Sell Total270 Coins + Beef costCooked Sell Price498 Coins4040If you grow your own Tomatoes and Potatoes, the only real cash expense is the Beef from Zerine's store. Selling the cooked stew at 498 Coins versus selling the raw Tomatoes and Potatoes (270 Coins combined) gives you at least a 228-Coin margin before factoring in the Beef purchase price. The 155 Stamina restoration also makes it a strong option for personal use during long exploration or farming sessions.4141Compared to other high-value recipes like Yangzhou Fried Rice or Golden Fried Rice, Tomato Beef Stew demands a larger ingredient investment per serving (particularly the 3 Beef). However, its sell price and stamina restoration are both higher, making it a strong choice for players who have reliable access to Beef.4343Gifting4545Tomato Beef Stew makes a well-received gift for most characters on Starsand Island. Notably, Regis loves this dish, making it an efficient way to build friendship with him. Most other characters like receiving it as well. However, Pastelle hates this dish, so avoid giving it to her.
