Ingredients:

Serving

3.5 lb beef stew meat , cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 all-purpose flour
1 can cream of mushroom soup plus enough water to cover meat and vegetables
2 tbsp emeril la gasse''s basic seasoning-deepens the color and flavor
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 pack knorr au jus mix-really gives a good, rich flavor to the roux mixture mixed with the beef juices
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. frozen carrot slices-no need to thaw-they will cook as the stew simmers
8 very small zucchini, sliced with a mandoline
6 small, uniformly sized red potatoes-using a mandolin to get nice thin slices
1 cup grape tomatoes-added the last hour of cooking-use tomatoes that are not mushy but slightly firm
2 cups pearl onions-parboiled and peeled (i would use frozen if i had to do again because peeling these are very time consuming!)

Directions:

1. In very large Emeril La Gasse stockpot or better yet-non-stick large skillet-heat the extra virgin olive oil and then add the meat, that has had all the fat removed and then dredged in a little all purpose flour-to the pan. Brown until the juices of the meat are locked in and you actually see a browned look on the meat.
2. Add all the vegetables, except the grape tomatoes, to the pot and cover with a mixture of the cream of mushroom soup-full strength-and water….enough to cover all the meat and vegetables.
Once you get the meat and vegetables to a simmer, then add the Knorr Au Jus seasoning package. It was an emergency substitute but it came out really great!
3. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 hour 30 minutes or until beef is tender.
. Add 2 Tablespoons of the Emeril La Gasse basic seasoning mix or you could probably add any one of his and it would be good. That is the only one I have…right now anyhow.
