Jo Mama's Beef Stew image

Hearty and delicious. My family's favorite stew for over 30 years. If you prefer, you can substitute basil for the rosemary--I fix it both ways. Update: When I originally made this recipe, I would coat the beef pieces with a flour/salt/pepper mix by shaking them in a bag and then brown them in a couple tablespoons of oil. I eliminated this step to simplify and lower the calories and fat, but if you do it that way it makes for a thicker sauce. Good either way!

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs stew meat, cut up
1/4 cup flour
4 boiling potatoes, cut into bite-size squares
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 sprig fresh rosemary, 1-2 teaspoons dried crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 beef bouillon cubes

Steps:

  • Shake stew meat up in a bag with flour to cover.
  • Brown in vegetable oil in stew pot.
  • Cover with water and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer for 30 minutes or more. (I like to simmer until the beef is nice and tender).
  • Add remaining ingredients and add additional water to cover.
  • Bring to a boil again.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are done, about 15 minutes.
