- BEEF STEW
- =========
-
- 2 lb. stewing beef, cut into 1" cubes
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, diced into 1/4" sq. pieces
- 2 cans beef stock
- 1 can chopped tomatoes (w/ juice)
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasonings
- 1/2 Tbsp dried parsley
- salt & pepper
- 3 carrots, cut into 1/2" slices
- 2 potatoes, cut into 1" cubes

- Heat the oil in a large stock pot, and brown the beef on all sides. Add
- the flour, and stir to coat. Add a few tablespoons of the beef stock,
- and add onion and garlic. Saute until the onion begins to soften.
- Add the remaining stock, tomatoes, red wine, salt & pepper, and parsley.
- Cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, adding more liquid if necessary.
