How to Make Easy Vegetable Beef Stew

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, combine 1.5 lbs beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes), 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes, and 1 large onion (chopped).
  3. Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour.
  4. Add 2 carrots (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the beef mixture. Stir well.
  5. Cover and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the beef and carrots are tender.
  6. While the stew is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced) and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender.
  8. Stir the cooked mushrooms into the stew.
