Beef Stew

Here is a basic beef stew recipe that I've found and that brings back memories of childhood.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chuck roast, preferably with the bone
• 2 medium sized carrots
• 3 celery stalks
• 1 large tomato
• 1 medium potato
• 2 shallots
• 6-8 springs of parsley
• salt 
• pepper
• 32 oz beef broth
• water

Directions:

• Place the chuck roast (beef) into the bottom of the pot.
• Rough chop all of the vegetables so that they are in bite size pieces.
• As the vegetables get chopped up, place them in the pot on top of the beef.
• Add salt and pepper then cover everything with the beef broth and water.
• Simmer on medium heat for 3 1/2 to 4 hours stirring occasionally.
