How do you make your beef stew?!


Question: How do you make your beef stew!?
Answers:
I get the beef stew meat, vegetables, and a seasoning packet and combine them all in my crockpot, then cook all day!. Clean and chop vegetables first!. Potatos, carrots, onion, celery, a little garlic, maybe some frozen peas, whatever you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

2 pounds beef stew meat
6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small bag baby carrots-chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 ounces sliced mushrooms, drained
1 can tomato soup
1 can beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


Directions:

Brown the stew meat; drain!. Place potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms in bottom of 5-6 qt crockpot!.

Top with stew meat!. Combine tomato soup, broth, and Worcestershire sauce; pour over stew!. Cover; cook on low for 8-10 hours!. Stir in flour paste to thicken if desired, or get a package of beef stew mix!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I make mine in my slow cooker and the recipe i use is from allrecipes!.com only I like to add a couple of things to it:
1/2 cup red wine in place of the 1/2 cup beef stock, 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper and when it's done I add a cup of frozen peas (i love peas!)!. I have also made this with venison and add a cup of red wine and up the flour to take away some of the gamy taste and thicken the sauce!. Oh and sometimes I will brown the meat in a pan before tossing it all into the slow cooker!.

Combine the flour, 1 Tbsp!. salt, and 1 Tbsp!. pepper!. Lift the beef out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and discard the bay leaves and garlic, saving the marinade!. In batches, dredge the cubes of beef in the flour mixture and then shake off the excess!. Heat 2 Tbsp!.s of olive oil in a large pot and brown half the beef over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning to brown evenly!. Place the beef in a large oven-proof Dutch oven and continue to brown the remaining beef, adding oil as necessary!. (If the beef is very lean, you'll need more oil!.) Place all the beef in the Dutch oven!.
Heat another 2 Tbsp!.s of oil to the large pot and add the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes!. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally!. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes!. Place all the vegetables in the Dutch oven over the beef!.

Add the chicken stock, rosemary, sun-dried tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp!. salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper!. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables in the Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over medium heat on top of the stove!. Cover the pot and place it in the oven to bake it for about 2 hours, until the meat and vegetables are all tender, stirring once during cooking!. If the stew is boiling rather than simmering, lower the heat to 250 or 275o F!.
Before serving, stir in the frozen peas, season to taste, and serve hot!.
