It's a perfect one-pot meal. All it needs, if anything, is some crusty whole grain bread to mop up the juices. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:In a large Dutch oven, heat oil on medium-high. Brown the beef, stirring occasionally. Transfer browned beef to a plate.
Add celery, onion and carrots to Dutch oven and cook until onion is softened. Return beef to the pot. Stir in broth and tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for an hour and a half. Add potatoes and rutabaga. Simmer gently for 20 minutes; add squash and green beans and simmer for 15 minutes more. Thicken the sauce if you wish by using a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup of water. If so, cook stew for a further 3-5 minutes.
