Braised Stew Meat

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.

    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.
