ingredients
- 1 lb stewing beef
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 celery ribs, cut into thick slices
- 2 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 -2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, with juice
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 large sprigs rosemary
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 4 -5 medium red potatoes, cut into large cubes
- 3 -4 cups mixed vegetables (turnips, rutabagas, cabbage, corn, peas, green beans, whatever is in your freezer. You can also use )
directions
- Brown the meat in the oil in a dutch oven. Add everything else.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook until everything is cooked through.
- Alternatively, this can be cooked in a crockpot after the meat has been browned. Add a little water to the pan and deglaze if using this method. (When I cooked my stew, I used this method. I did not add the beef broth, however. I just added 3 tsp of instant beef broth seasoning.) Cook about 6 to 7 hrs on low.
- Serve with hot biscuits or cornbread.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I am a Yankee transplant to the low country. My mom was English, so my cooking style reflects this. My favorite cookbook was McCall's Cookbook which is no longer in print. I've been married to a gourmand for 41 years, so I get lots of practice cooking. We have three daughters that I share recipes with and seven grandchildren -- none old enough to cook yet, but I think we have some budding chefs!</p>
