- 1 Bay Leaf
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Place stewing beef into roasting pan or large casserole. (Unger Meats Stewing Beef comes trimmed and precut but if you are using stewing beef that is not yet cut then trim off any extra fat and cut into 1” chunks).
- Add onions, garlic, flour, salt, pepper, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Stir in beef stock, wine (or water) and tomatoes. Add Bay Leaf.
- Cover with lid or foil and bake in 350 oven for 1 hour. After the first hour, add the carrots.
- Return to oven and bake 1 more hour. After the 2nd hour, add the potatoes.
- Return to oven and bake another 30 mins or until meat is very tender. If too thick, add a little warm water; if too thin, remove lid/foil and let the liquid cook down.
- Remove bay leaf. Taste…add salt and pepper if needed.Enjoy!!
