I am a big fan of cold weather and during the hot summer days I used to beg for winter to come but boy did my wishes come true lol. Fall hit me fast and hard its so cold out now and I am nowhere near prepared lol. But whats better than a nice comforting bowl of beef stew to warm you up on a cold day 🙂 check out the recipe below.

Ingredients needed are:

1. 2 lbs stew beef
2. 1 tbs veg oil
3. 2 tbs adobo
4. 2 bay leaves
5. 1 tbs Worcestershire
6. half of a small onion diced
7. 1 tsp garlic powder
8. 1/2 tsp tumeric
9. 1/2 tsp paprika
10. 1/2 tsp onion powder
11. 1/2 tsp black pepper
12. 1/8 tsp ground clove
13. 2 tbs ketchup
14. 2 bay leaves
15. 2 tbs flour
16. 4 small potatoes
17. Beef stock

In a bowl add your chopped up beef and add ingredients 2-12  except for chopped onions with a spoon or clean hand mix ingredients together. In a dutch oven or a deep pan add veg oil on medium heat. Brown your beef make sure to not crowd the pot, cook beef in portions.

After all the beef is browned add all of it back to your pot stir and add 2 cups beef stock one cup water. Stir and add chopped onions, ketchup and bay leaves. Cover the pot and cook on medium high heat for 45 min. Be sure to check the pot occasionally and add more water if it starts to get low.

Check the beef to see if its tender enough for you if yes chop up your potatoes and add them to the pot. In a separate bowl add flour and cold water whisk and add it to the pot of beef stew to thicken it. Stir and cover pot cook for 25 more min at medium low heat.

And your done serve stew with rice and some veggies
