When I created this in my head while wandering the grocery store I decided to call it French stew. I really don't think it is in any way French...but it is a delicious beef stew that we enjoyed the first night by ourselves and then again the next night with my sister and her family.
1 pkg. beef stew meat (I think it was about a pound or so)
1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
4 medium red potatoes, chopped in bite-sized pieces
2 16oz. cans diced tomatoes with sweet onion and roasted garlic
1 28 oz. can tomato sauce
1 16 oz. can beef broth
3-4 tablespoons garlic herb olive oil (I used a specialty one we got at the farmer's market)
2 tablespoons steak seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil and stew meat. Add 1 tablespoon steak seasoning and brown meat on all sides. Remove from pot and add the rest of the olive oil and the onions and saute for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add carrots and potatoes and the rest of the steak seasoning. Stir to combine and saute for another 5 minutes or so. Add the meat back into the pot along with the beef broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the bits at the bottom of the pot. Next add the rest of the ingredients - tomatoes, tomato sauce, thyme, onion salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and stir occasionally for at least 45 minutes to an hour. I served it with sourdough bread which I had cut horizontally, brushed with the garlic herb olive oil and cracked black pepper and cooked at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. It was absolutely delicious...enjoy! :)
