Drab, dull and dreary days call for stew. Fish stew, turkey stew, lentil stew; they all bring comfort when the sun fails to shine. BUT ... there is nothing like Beef Stew. It is the grandfather of them all. Hearty and heart warming this one does the trick when the sun fails to shine upon us for days on end.
- 2 lb beef chuck, cut into 2 cubes
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Beef Rub
- 1 lg red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 lb carrots, sliced
- 1 lg onion, chopped
- 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 3 medium potatoes, par boiled, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup tomato juice
In a large pan, cook meat in hot oil until browned on all sides. Remove with slotted spoon to a warmed dish. Place Beef Rub, peppers, carrots, potatoes and onion in remaining oil, and lightly fry until onion is clear. Return meat to pan; lightly mix together. Cook and stir for 1 min. Stir in tomato juice, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Stir in mushrooms; cook for another 20 min.
