Ingredients to make Herbed Beef Stew

3 large New potatoes, cut in small chunks
3 pounds Chuck steak
1 cup Fresh string beans, cut in 1-1/2 inch cubes
2 cups Red onion, coarsely sliced
1/2 package Frozen baby green peas

1 small Bay leaf
1 cup Dry red wine
pn Basil
1 can 28oz Whole tomatoes, in puree

** if you only have tomatoes in liquid, not puree, dump the liquid and add tomato paste, to get puree texture

Directions to make Herbed Beef Stew

Step 1:Heat a large dutch oven until very hot and add the beef cubes. Sear; when browned all over add the red onions and garlic and saute for a minute or two with the beef. Add the wine and allow to cook on high heat for one minute, lower heat to just above a simmer, add the tomatoes and stir to incorporate the ingredients in the tomatoes.

Step 2:Add the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, give them a few good stirs and cook for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender, stirring frequently.

Step 3:Check often to insure that there is liquid in the pot. If you see it drying out, add some water, 1/2 cup at a time. Cook with the pot partially covered for the entire time. Taste and adjust seasoning with herbs, salt and pepper and enjoy!
