How to Make Autumn Stew

1. Brown 1 lb beef stew meat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 2 carrots, peeled and chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained; 4 cups beef broth; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary; 1/4 teaspoon salt; and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
5. Cover and simmer for at least 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. (For crock-pot: Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender).
6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
