Reduce heat to the lowest setting, then cover and cook at a bare simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

SIMPLY POTATO AND BEEF STEW #SP5

Steps:

• The first step to making this delicious stew is to chop the carrots into bite-sized pieces. The next step is browning the bit-sized cubed beef until cooked all the way through in a skillet on medium heat; don't drain any of the grease, you will use this to brown the Simply Potatoes. After the meat is brown, you will then place it in a container to the side, then put the Simply Potatoes Diced with onions in the skillet and cook until brown, on medium heat. Then you will put the Potatoes into another container to the side (or if you read ahead and got a big enough container, they can both go in).
• The next step is place your soup pot on the stove and turn the heat on high and add the beef broth and tomato paste to your pot (you can add more tomato paste if you like your base to be thicker), and heat until boiling. Once your mixture is boiling, turn down to simmer and add the carrots, beef, and potatoes and onions. The final step is to heat on simmer until carrots are cooked all the way through (approximately four hours), or for quicker meals, heat on medium (approximately one hour).

• I prefer to make this in a crock pot and let cook all day or over night, it lets the flavors blend extra well.
• If using mutton let cook on low for 8 hours, with lamb only 5 hours will make an excellent stew.
