Kate's beef stew

1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Pinch of ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 pound top round steak, cut into 1" cubes
1 onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1-2 cans diced tomatoes
2 carrots, cut into bite-size pieces
2 potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 can low sodium beef broth
1 cup of water
2 celery stocks, cut into bite-size pieces


Trim most of the fat away from your beef before putting it into a slow cooker. Combine meat, vegetables, broth, and enough water to almost cover everything. Season with salt and pepper. This will cook for about 8 hours in a slow cooker or 1-2 in a regular pot. If you have picky eaters (like I do at my home) you can mince all of the vegi's so you get the flavor but not their obvious exsistence. Cook until meat and potatoes are tender. Serve with rolls and enjoy!
