Hearty Beef Stew


I found this recipe in a free stop and shop publication. It sounded good and it was...i've changed a few things over the years but not too much, just enough to make it easier to make. I hope you enjoy it on a cold winter day just as much as we do! It is wonderful in a crusty bread bowl or with buttered biscuits(my hubbies favorite of course)!

Steps


In a large 6 quart stock pot saute onions and garlic in olive oil on medium heat.
Place beef , flour , salt and pepper in a large ziplock bag and shake to coat.
Add coated beef to the stock pot and stir to brown beef.
Once beef is browned add stock , bay leaves , sugar , wine , thyme , parsley , dill , mustard and worcestershire sauce.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat , cover and simmer for 1 1 / 2 hours.
Add carrots , mushrooms and potatoes , simmer for an additional 1 / 2 hour or until they are tender and ready to eat.
