DONNA'S BEST BEEF STEW
I've been making this beef stew for many years now and my husband loves to take it to work and I never get any of it! Simmer in a Dutch Oven for 1-1/2 hrs then add vegetables till tender. This recipe is also suitable for a crock pot just don't add more than 3/4 full of the ingredients! NOTE: Never tell them you found this...

Steps:
- 1. Brown stew meat in a little vegetable oil. Add McCormick's season all salt, garlic powder and onion powder to stew meat while browning. Add remaining ingredients. Set for desired time, 4hrs, 6 hrs, and 8-10 hrs. I cook mine for the longest time possible as it makes for a richer broth! This may be simmered on low for 1-1/2 hours in a DUTCH OVEN, before adding the vegetables. Once vegetables are added simmer an additional 20-30 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are fork tender!
- 2. When vegetables are tender...thicken broth, add 4 tablespoons of cornstarch to ½ cup of cold water. Mix till smooth and add to stew. Stir well until broth is thickened.
- 3. *The longer the stew cooks the more tender the meat and richer the broth.*

Steps:
- *See the pictured tutorial for more info on the tips to creating the best beef stew.
- Sprinkle the beef chunks with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the beef to coat all sides.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy stock pot until hot (when you sprinkle in a few drops of water they should jump and sizzle). Add the coated beef chunks, spacing them out about 1/2 inch from each other and, working in batches so as not to overcrowd, generously brown the beef on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onions with another tablespoon of butter to the Dutch oven (do not remove the browned/blackened bits in the bottom of the pan) and cook until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes (add a little more oil or butter if necessary). Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the wine, bring it to a rapid boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and boil for 2 minutes or until the wine is mostly evaporated. Return the beef to the Dutch oven.
- Add the broth, tomato paste and seasonings. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 90 minutes.
- Add the vegetables, cover and cook for another hour. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot sprinkled with a little chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:
- Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add more oil as needed between batches.
- Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
- Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.
