NZ Beef is $16.99/kg, not the most frugal thing on the planet. Beef Stew is a great way to use beef and stick to my goal of $12 per dinner or $1 per person. I split this beautiful pack and froze half for another meal, so I only spent $5 on beef in this recipe. That left $2 for the tomato sauce/juice, and $5 for the vegetables.
Crock Pot Beef Vegetable Stew
WARNING: Serves 10-12, recipe can be halved
2 medium onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups celery, sliced
2 cups carrots, sliced
2 cups sweet potato, diced
1 cup green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup frozen corn
.3 to .5 kg beef, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
2 cups pasta cooking sauce or tomato puree or tomato juice
4 cups beef stock
Salt, pepper, cayenne, to taste
Place all items into a large crock pot/slow cooker. You may need to add extra beef stock if the liquid doesn't fully cover the vegetables. Set crock pot to Low for 8 hours, or High for 5 hours.
