Cozy Stovetop Beef Stew

What's On My Table:

Cozy Stovetop Beef Stew

 I adapted this recipe from Mix and Match Mama and swapped out some ingredients to make it cleaner.  I love this type of meal on a cold winter's night.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Olive oil for coating your pan (~ 2 T)

1 lb stew meat (should already be cut into cubes for you

1 qt beef broth

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 chopped onion, chopped

2 minced garlic cloves

2 bay leaves 

1 cup baby carrots (or 2 large carrots chopped)

2 Yukon gold potatoes (though any will work), cubed

1 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot starch

1 1/2 tablespoon water

Method:

1. In a Dutch oven, heat up oil and then brown meat (doesn't have to be cooked through just brown each side).  

3. Stir in the next 7 ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook covered for about 2 hours.  For the last 1/2 hour of cooking, add in your carrots and potatoes and cover.

4. 10 min before serving, combine your arrowroot starch with water and add to pot. Cook uncovered on the stovetop at medium high heat for about 10 minutes being sure to stir occasionally.

5. Serve in bowls with a side salad and dinner is done!
