    If you get your stewing beef on sale, this works out to be a rich, delicious and cheap meal.

    I got stewing beef on sale for $3.99/lb for this recipe. You can choose the amount of each ingredient you want. This is a very loose recipe.

    Ingredients:

    Stewing beef

    Beef broth, poured over beef until it’s covered

    Red or white wine (optional), about a cup

    Carrots, peeled and sliced

    Celery, diced

    Onions, diced

    Mushrooms, sliced

    Potatoes (either small or larger sliced)

    Turnip or rutabaga

    Garlic

    A dash of red pepper flakes

    Worcestershire sauce

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Flour

    Directions:

    In a crockpot or stewing pot, place your beef. Brown it first if you wish to decrease the cooking time.

    Cover the beef with just enough broth to cover it.

    Add the wine, onion, celery and spices and seasoning.

    Simmer on low or use the low crockpit setting for four hours or so.

    Add the remaining vegetables.

    Simmer on low for another 4 hours.

    Drain some of the stew broth from your pot and make a slurry with the flour (amount will depend on how thick you like your stew).

    Add the slurry to the stew and let thicken for half an hour.

    Serve with fresh bread.

    You can reduce the cooking time from 8 hours to 6, if you cook at a higher temperature and brown your meat, onions and mushrooms.
