Categories     Beef

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.
