Time 4h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs boneless lean beef, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon crumbled rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
black pepper, As much as you like
1 (28 ounce) canned tomatoes, with liquid
8 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices
4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut in chunks
1 large onion, cut in chunks
1 bay leaf
1 small rutabagas or 1 small turnip, cut in chunks
fresh green beans, cut in pieces

Steps:

  • Trim any fat from meat cubes; set aside. Mix flour and seasonings together in a bag, put the meat in the bag too and shake to coat meat with the flour mixture. Place coated meat and all remaining ingredients in a 3-4 quart casserole or dutch oven and mix.
  • (TRUST ME - there will be enough liquid - do NOT add more than the canned tomatoes!).
  • Cover and bake at 275 degrees for 4 hours or until meat is very tender. This recipe makes four very LARGE servings (or smaller with leftovers) and is a great company recipe especially for those who can't cook or are pressed for time. Turn on or pre-set your oven to come on at 2:00 and you will be serving at 6:00. Serve with crusty bread or rolls, a green salad and a good bottle of wine. So easy and so delicious! Bon appetite!
