Growing up I never liked Beef Stew. As an adult, a friend asked me to make a batch of stew for him. I don't like cooked carrots so I omitted them from the dish. He loved it and so did I. I wondered why and then I realized there were no carrots in the dish. Aha......the mystery of why I didn't like stew was solved. I really love this recipe and yes, you may add carrots if you want.

How to Make Amish Beef Stew

Step-by-Step

Heat oil in stock pan. Add beef and brown. Add onion, celery, salt, pepper, beef broth and tomato juice. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
Add potatoes. Simmer 35 to 45 minutes. Add green beans and corn. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes. To thicken, mix water with cornstarch, add to stew.
Cooks note: I have also used V-8 juice in place of the tomato juice.
