Vegetable Beef Stew

So here is an amazing recipe I have perfected for Vegetable Beef Stew.  I love serving it in a bread bowl(these can be bought at Panera for $1.50) And are just perfect for any soup, chowder or stew. 

List of needed Ingredients:

2 pounds cubed beef stew meat                                                  

 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil                                                                     

6 cubes beef bouillon                                                   

4 cups water

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper                          

 

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed                                                                     

4 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces

4 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 large onion, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoon of fine chopped garlic                                                   

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons cold water

 

 

In a large pot or dutch oven, cook beef in oil over medium heat until brown.  This will create a lot of excess water, do not dump this.  Boil 4 cups of water then dissolve bouillon in the water and pour into pot. Stir in rosemary, parsley, garlic and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour.

 

Next stir in potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into the pot. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 teaspoons cold water and stir into stew. Cover and simmer 1 hour more.  Remove from heat and let cool down a little then ENJOY!

 

This soup is also very good if you do not use a bread bowl and you through in 1 cup of already cooked rice.
