Grandma knew what she was doing with this warm and comforting beef stew. It's seasoned perfectly and the meat is so tender. Everything is prepared in one pot, which makes for easy clean up after preparing this tasty stew. Serve with fresh rolls for a comforting meal.

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lb beef stew meat
1-2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 1/2 c chopped onion
1 can(s) diced tomatoes with liquid, 14.5 oz
3 Tbsp quick tapioca (I use Kraft minute tapioca)
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 bay leaf
6 medium carrots, quartered
3 medium potatoes, quartered
1 c sliced celery
1 can(s) beef broth, 14.5 oz

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the beef stew meat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • 2. Add the onion, tomatoes with their liquid, beef broth, tapioca, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. If you are using a skillet, transfer this to a pot you can put in the oven or you can transfer this to a Crock Pot.
  • 3. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and stir. Add all the vegetables and cook until tender.
  • 4. If I'm using my Crock Pot, I add the vegetables in at the same time I add the meat mixture. I slow cook it most of the day.
  • 5. Just a note, I always double this recipe because we love to have leftovers. I've have even had to triple it before. The recipe feeds 4 to 6 people one good size bowl of stew each.
