Simple Oven Stew
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients:
2 pounds beef stew meat or lean beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
2 medium-sized onions, quartered, sliced
3 large carrots, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
1 pint whole tomatoes, preferably home-canned or 1 (16-ounce) can, with juice
3 large potatoes, quartered, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a heavy 3-quart casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Place in oven.
Set oven at 275F (135C). Bake 5 hours or until meat is done and vegetables are tender. At such a low heat, the vegetables steam to tenderness but do not become mushy. If juices are not thick, drain them from stew into a wide skillet. Bring to a boil; boil until reduced by half, then return juices to stew.
