Steps:
- Using a large stock pot, brown stewing meat in oil. Add onions and sprinkle flour into stock pot, stirring until flour is well incorporated.
- Fill stock pot with water. If you prefer a thick stew fill stock pot only half full, if you prefer a more diluted stew fill your stock pot within one inch of the top. Let meat cook until tender, checking frequently on water level. When water evaporates add more. Cook for 1 1/2 hours.
- When beef is tender add potatoes, carrots and beefy mushroom soup. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes, or until tender.
- In a separate bowl mix cornstarch and cold water. Stir into soup and simmer. If not to desired thickness add another mixture of cornstarch and cold water. Heat through, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs are all good options for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic additions, but you can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Season the stew well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points, but you can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or oregano.
- Cook the stew slowly and low. This will help to tenderize the beef and develop the flavors.
- Thicken the stew with flour or cornstarch. This will help to create a rich, gravy-like sauce.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make a beef stew that will impress your family and friends.
