Lick The Plate Clean Beef (Or Pork!) Stew image

My husband's personal favorite, hence the name... Wonderful served with a basket of warm garlic bread for dipping. Update: Late last night I took the stew meat out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge over night. It wasn't until I opened the package that I realized that it was PORK stew meat. I went ahead with the recipe...
