Recipe by: Karen Barris Calabro "This hearty beef and vegetable stew that can be
made in the slow-cooker is a family favorite. It is also the backbone for an ex
cellent beef soup, if you actually find yourself with leftovers."

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in batches in
hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove browned bee
f cubes to a plate lined with paper towels, keeping skillet over heat and retain
ing the beef drippings.
Cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots in the retained beef drippings until ju
st softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir mushrooms and garlic into the onion mixture.
Pour red wine into the pan; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of f
ood off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking the mixture
until the wine evaporates, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir tomatoes into the mixture.
Return beef to skillet with potatoes, basil, thyme, marjoram, and sage. Pour bee
f stock and tomato sauce over the mixture. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until the beef is very tender and the sauce is thi
ck, 4 to 6 hours.

Footnotes
Cook's Note:
To create a soup from this stew, chop up vegetables and beef pieces into much sm
aller pieces and add vegetable stock or water until it resembles a soup. Simmer
briefly, but not too high as it will make the soup extremely cloudy.
