Beef Stew

This is a great stew and is super simple to make.

You will need:
Stew Meat: I use round steaks or have the butcher cut me some stew meat.
3 or 4 Carrots peeled and sliced
1 Med. Onion diced small
4 or 5 Potatoes peeled and chopped in 1 inch cubes
2 Tbs. Cumin
1 Tbs Thyme
1 Bay Leaf (Don't forget to remove before serving)
3 splashes of Worcestershire Sauce
1 Cap full of Kitchen Bouquet
1 good squeeze of Bragg's Liquid Aminos
Fresh Ground Pepper and Salt to taste.( you may not need the salt)
3 cans of Beef Stock


In a dutch oven or a large soup pot brown your meat on a high temp. I put a little olive oil in the bottom of my pan to keep it from sticking. Add the carrots and onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Next add your seasonings and stir well. Then I add my beef stock. Let this simmer for about 1 hour and then add your potatoes. Cook for aprox 30 more minutes or until the potatoes are soft. If you like a thicker soup (we do) I mix 2 Tbs of corn starch and some cold water and add to the broth. Let it simmer for about 5 more minutes. Then you can dig in. It is really yummy!!! Once the fam has had it's fill of stew you can also add some egg noodles and turn your stew into beef and noodles. A great way to extend the food for a few more days.
