One of my favorite soup like substances is stew.
I love that it’s a meal in itself, is easy to make and there’s always leftovers! This low calorie slow cooker beef stew is so tasty and is stick-to-your-ribs delicious!
I’m a big lover of beef.
I really believe beef is the reason why I could never make it as a vegetarian.
That, and…bacon.
I don’t remember ever having homemade beef stew.
My family always bought this stew when I was a child, and I still buy it once and awhile when I need a little comfort food, or an easy meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds beef, eye round, stew meat
2 (8 ounce) packages of mushrooms (I like Portobello)
4 cups chopped onion
3 cups chopped celery
2 1/2 cups chopped carrot
3 (11.5 oz) cans of this ingredient
1/4 tsp salt (to taste, could add more or less)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons uncooked granulated tapioca (I used this and liked this kind here)
1 bay leaf (optional) – remove before eating
Chopped flat leaf Italian parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Blend tomato juice, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and tapioca in a blender until smooth. This here is the blender I used and it worked wonders!
- Mix onion, carrot, celery, mushrooms and stew meat with blender mixture and stir well. Add bay leaf if desired.
- Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or until beef is cooked through.
- Remove bay leaf before eating if you add it to ingredients.
- Serve by 1 & 3/4 cup, sprinkle with parsley if desired.
