Simple Beef Stew

A nice hearty stew is wonderful on a chilly day. 

And there’s really nothing more simple than soup or stew. I enjoy cooking and baking from scratch, but part of simplifying your life is to not over-do things.

Simple Beef Stew

Servings: 6 
Time: One 1/2 hours 
Difficulty: easy

Ingredients

1 pound cubed stew meat

1 cup white vinegar

1/2 TBS garlic salt OR 1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce

salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1 TBS oil

2 cups beef broth

1 can Veg-All

1 can Rotel (I use the Hot one)

1/2 to 1 can diced tomatoes

1 cup cubed potatoes

Steps

Place stew meat, white vinegar, garlic salt, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper into a quart sized ziplock bag.

Refrigerate at least one hour, over night is best.

Leaving meat in ziplock bag, drain and discard liquids

Add flour to bag, shake to coat meat.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add stew meat and cook until brown.

Add beef broth, Veg-All, Rotel, and diced tomatoes.

Bring to a slow boil, add potatoes, and cover.

Turn heat to medium-low, simmer until potatoes are soft.

Enjoy your stew!

Notes

I use fresh meat and fresh potatoes, but I add canned veggies. It’s quick and easy, sort of a “set it and forget it”, after the meat is marinated. I like to make this on a Sunday morning, if I make a big enough batch, we eat it for lunch and dinner. This recipe is easy to double up. I hope you enjoy it!
