A month of dinners...

Continuing with the month of dinners series (and catching up for this week)-

On Monday, we made Old-Fashioned Beef Stew

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 ounces beef stew meat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 cups vegetable juice
1 cup water
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
3 cups cubed potato (about 3 medium)
1 1/2 cups frozen cut green beans
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 cup sliced carrot

Directions:

Step 1: Place flour in a plastic bag.  Add meat cubes, a few at a time, shaking to coat.  In a large saucepan brown meat in hot oil; drain fat.  Stir in vegetable juice, water, onion, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon granules, oregano, marjoram, pepper, and bay leaf.  Bring to boiling; reduce heat.  Simmer, covered, for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until meat is nearly tender.

Step 2: Stir in potato, green beans, corn, and carrot.  Return to boiling; reduce heat.  Simmer, covered, about 30 minutes more or until meat and vegetables are tender.  Discard bay leaf.
