Anyone have a easy beef stew recipe? never made it before but want to ...?

if you get stew meat, cut it in smaller chunks. Brown them in the bottom of your saucepan with a little oil and some onion slices. You want the onions to get nice and brown so be sure to put them in with the meat. Chop up whatever veggies you want or you can use frozen. canned potatoes are ok in this too, if you are in a hurry. Add your veggies and a big can of V8 juice. If you like tomatoes in it, add a can of diced tomatoes -- the italian ones are great in this and any herbs or spices you like. Simmer over med-low heat until the meat is tender (less than an hour usually, depending on the size of the meat -- the smaller the faster. I have made this on a weeknight after coming home from work and it made an excellent lunch the next day. Serve it with cornbread or french bread.
