I posted this photo on my personal Facebook page a few days ago and had people asking for the recipe. I had no idea this would happen, nor that this beef stew would be recipe-worthy, otherwise I would have put it on the blog already! It's one of our stand-by recipes that we have at least once a month. The leftovers are great lunches for the week and it is really delicious. It's also super simple.
I just sauté some minced garlic in a pan, then throw the stew meat in
there to brown. I use the big package that they sell at Sam's. Brown
it, then throw in slow cooker with some
baby carrots. Seasonings can be anything you like. McCormick makes a
seasoning packet for beef stew that I used before we got married, but
Jon doesn't care for it, so now I just throw some spices in there.
Usually some garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, etc. I
make sure it is covered with some sort of liquid - either beef broth or
water, and put it on high for 4 hours. I then cut up half an onion and 4
small potatoes (peeled). Cook for 3 more hours on high. The stew meat
is falling apart by this time. The carrots are nice and tender and so
are the potatoes, without becoming mush.
I
serve it with some kind of bread, usually French or Italian with butter
and garlic or Italian seasoning, but even regular wheat toast works.
That's what we had the night I took this picture because I forgot to buy a fresh loaf of
bread, lol.
Super easy and very good.
