Make Beef Stew With Me

My first time making it! Using my grandma’s recipe 🫶🏼

Ingredients list:

• 1-2 lbs stew meat

• 4-6 large carrots

• 4-6 stalks of celery

• 1 large bell pepper (any color)

• one white or yellow onion

• one fresh tomato (on the vine)

• one can of stewed tomatoes in Italian herbs

• 2-3 cloves of garlic

• olive oil

• s/p

• Italian seasoning

• bay leaves

• beef buillion

• 6-7 cups of water

(1) chop up veggies

- cut up the carrots and celery into 1” pieces for simmering

- dice up the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and a little celery and carrot for sautéing

- dice the fresh tomato and roughly chop the stewed tomatoes in the can

(2) sauté meat and veggies

- get olive oil hot, brown the meat and sauté the veggies

- add seasoning and let it sauté with the meat and veggies

(3) add tomatoes

- when veggies are fragrant and meat is browned, add the fresh tomato and the whole can of stewed tomatoes

- mix and let simmer a few minutes

(4) dissolve buillion

- dissolve buillion to taste in 4 cups of water then add that to the pot, mix

(4) add carrots and celery

- once the carrots and celery are added, put it on low and let it simmer with the lid on for 1-2 hours or until carrots are tender

(5) add potatoes

- when carrots are tender, cut up potatoes to 1-2” pieces and add them to the pot

- at this time, add more water if needed. Taste and add more seasoning as needed

- let it simmer for another hour or until potatoes are tender

- continue to taste and add seasoning or more water if needed. Potatoes will absorb salt so you may need to add more after they simmer

(6) enjoy!

- when it’s to your liking for taste and thickness, it’s time to eat!

- it’s even better the next day after it sits together and the flavors blend more 🫶🏼
