 Through my posts, you have seen how I have been preserving my herbs and veggies through the years. Recently, this week, I posted my new combination of Basil, Garlic and Rosemary, etc. Today, I will be using an assortment of my frozen disks to give you a good reason to start making them in your homes: REASON #1: If I don’t have these herbs/veggies at home when I am preparing a meal, I don’t have to run to the store to buying them, just open my freezer and boom, find them. REASON # 2: Since they are already processed, I don’t have to do any peeling, rinsing, or chopping, saving me precious time. REASON # 3: The super flavor that these frozen disks give to my meals is the reason why I keep combining them, just off the hook! Category: Entrée Approx. Prep and Cook Time: 4+ hrs. Approximate Cost: $14.28 or $3.57 per serving Difficulty Level: Easy Allergens, Other: Gluten Free Servings: 4+ Ingredients 1 lb. of your favorite beef stew meat, clean of all fat, cut in 1 to 1 ½ inches ($9.50) 1 tbsp.

Directions Clean the beef of all fat, pat dry, season with my basting olive oil and my dry seasoning or the one of your choices. Add some of my basting olive oil to a casserole to sear the beef until light golden. Carefully, add the beef stock to the casserole as well as all the beef and frozen disks, cook over medium low for about 3 hrs. Test the meat for tenderness, if it's fine, then add the vegetables, tomato sauce-paste and cook for another hour. Always make sure that you have enough beef stock/broth that covers the meat and potatoes. If you want, you can make rice to serve with the beef stew. Is so easy, boil 2 c. water with salt and olive oil to taste. Add 1 cup of rinsed white or brown rice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 25 minutes. Done!
