Braised Stew Meat

Directions

1. 1
   I use a large stainless steel frying pan that I have a cover for, but you could use whatever pan you like.
2. 2
   I would use a Dutch oven if I had one.
3. 3
   Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-medium high heat for a few minutes and let it get hot.
4. 4
   Add beef slowly in a single layer; do not crowd the meat.
5. 5
   I usually do mine in two batches.
6. 6
   Brown meat on all sides and drain the grease.
7. 7
   In the same pan, add the meat back in, put back on heat and slowly add the beef broth and seasonings.
8. 8
   When it comes to a simmer, turn down to warm or low and leave it to cook for 2 hours or so.
9. 9
   Check your meat periodically and stir.

    You could even drop this into a crock pot and let it cook all day if you are working that day.
11. 11
    You could use some dark red wine for a little more flavor too and if you want to make it into a soup or stew, add another can or two of broth.
