Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Stew beef (cubed)
- 4 medium Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 3 medium Carrots (sliced)
- 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
- 1 large Yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 can (10.75 oz) Tomato soup
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a large oven-safe roasting pan or Dutch oven, combine the cubed stew beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, and chopped onion.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and vegetables, then toss gently to coat everything.
Add the tomato soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Drop in the bay leaves and stir them into the mixture.
Cover the pan tightly with a lid or aluminum foil to seal in the moisture.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for 3 hours. Do not open the oven or peek at the stew during this time.
After 3 hours, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Stir in the frozen peas, cover again, and let the stew rest for 5 minutes to heat the peas through.
Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
