Hearty Beef Stew
















One thing we all need for the winter is a fall back beef stew, warming filling and healthy. This is a basic one from me. I hope in the coming months to do several different stews. Remember a recipe like this is a starting point, you should add subtract and play to come up with your dish.

Place in a large pot a generous slug of  rice bran oil
Then sauté
1 diced brown onion
2 sliced stalks of celery
2 finely diced carrots (not restaurant fine, just smallish )
2 chopped garlic cloves
When softened add diced stewing steak ( this should be a cheap chuck or similar cut) and brown
To this I added
2 potatoes cut into pieces
Diced pumpkin pieces
or whatever vege you have in the fridge
Season with salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon quill
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp sumac
Cover with beef stock
Cover and simmer stirring occasionally for 2-3 hours
