Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 large potato, cut up
• 1 large onion, cut up
• 2 large carrots, cut up
• 3 ribs celery, cut up
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms (I use button mushrooms)
• 14 ounces (1 can) beef broth
• 8 ounces (1 can) tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano

Here’s how to make it:

1. Heat the oil in a large pot. Season the meat with salt and pepper and cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from the pan. (Browning the meat adds flavor, so don't skip this step. Remember, brown takes you to flavortown.)
2. Add the vegetables to the pot and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. (You could add in other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips.)
3. Add the beef back into the pot along with the broth and tomato sauce. Turn heat to low and cook about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve. Store the stew in an airtight container in the fridge. You could freeze this stew to enjoy later.
