Beef Stew - Everyday Food image

From Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine. I make this quite frequently for when we have family or friends coming over. It's also good if you replace half the water with red wine, it makes the broth a bit more rich.

I'm a vegetarian, but I made this stew with tofu instead of beef. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavor of the broth and it was really delicious.
