What you will need to make this easy beef stew...

Beef Stew Ingredients:

• 1 lb stewing beef chunks - cut in half to make them more of a bite size
  
  
• A little flour, salt and pepper for coating meat
  
  
• 2 - 3 tbsp oil
  
  
• 1 box beef broth - (stock)
  
  
• 1/2 onion chopped
  
  
• 4 potatoes - peeled and cubed
  
  
• 2 carrots - peeled and sliced
  
  
• 1 cup frozen corn
  
  
• 1/4 cup frozen green giant sweet peas
  
  
• Corn starch for thickening, if needed
  
  

How the beef stew is made:

• Coat beef cubes in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper
  
  
• Brown in a small amount of hot oil
  
  
• Add entire box of stock and onion
  
  
• Bring to a boil
  
  
• Lower heat, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours - or place all in covered roasting pan and put in 325F oven for at least 1 1/2 hours
  
  
• Add rest of vegies and cook another half hour
  
  
• Add water if it is too thick
  
  
• Add a little corn starch mixed smooth with a little water to thicken, if needed
  
  

I like to add parsley and dill as a seasoning - but don't have too. I usually add some cracked black pepper as well.

This is a really good recipe - have made it many, many times and it's one of my family's favourite winter meals.
