I don't know about you all, but I've noticed that the price of beef stew meat already nicely cut into perfect little bite size pieces, is absolutely out of reason in price. We found a nice Chuck steak and I cut it into not so perfect pieces myself. Smile. Here's my beef stew recipe, right out of my head.
2 pounds of chuck steak, cut into cubes 5 small potatoes peeled and cut into cubes 5 large carrots cut into small chunks, or just use the baby carrots 1 can of green beans 1 can of corn 1 can of peas 1 small onion chopped 2 cloves of garlic sliced or grated 1 envelope stew seasoning or make it yourself Brown the beef in a small amount of oil with the onion and the garlic. Sometimes I pour in a little beer and let the meat cook in it for a while. When meat is browned transfer it to the crock pot. Add all of the chopped vegetables and canned vegetables. Add enough water, about half way up the crock pot. cover and cook for about eight hours. We use a little bit of flour mixed with water as a thickener. Just stir it well into the stew. Or you could make a rue, but I'm not that good!
