I don't see why you couldn't sous vide it, then fry. Or broil. Sort of like beef carnitas, depending on the seasoning you used.
One of my favorites, which doesn't use stew meat, but could: boil the beef with onion and a bay leaf until tender. Cool, then shred, pulling out any fat. Marinate in lime juice, oregano and garlic for 30 mintues, countertop. Saute with sliced onions over medium high heat until crispy and browned.
Vaca frita -- literally, fried cow.
