Brian’s Beef Stew

Ingredients:

  • 1 – 1 ½ lbs Stew Meat

  • 2 Tbsp Small Pearl Tapioca

Directions:

  1. For the meat, season with steak seasoning. We used Lynchburg Tennessee Burger and Steak Seasoning, but you could use a Montreal or Chicago Steak Seasoning.
  2. Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a dutch oven over medium and add the seasoned beef.
  3. Cook and brown the meat until it has a nice sear to it.
  4. Remove the beef from the dutch oven and place the meat in a bowl.
  5. Deglaze the pot with the sherry and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone.
  6. Add the veggies and cook for 1 -2 minutes.
  7. Add the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tapioca and sugar.
  8. Bring to a soft boil and add the beef.
  9. Mix everything together, cover the dutch oven and place in a preheated oven at 250°F for 4 hours.
