ersatz reality's (Normal?) Pound Stew

In other news, since my wife is out of town, decided to make simple stew for dinner. Being extraordinarily lazy today...and since Wegman's even has choppped onions, my normal pound stew was even easier than normal.

Two pounds beef, cubed, two large onions, diced, one can plum tomatoes, one large can tomato sauce, one pound radishes, one pound redskin potatoes, one pound baby carrots, one pound corn (frozen), one pound green beans (also frozen), one carton beef stock, spices to taste. In a big Dutch oven, brown the beef, toss in onions. After onions are glistening, put in stock, reduce heat to medium. After a couple of minutes, add plum tomatos and tomato sauce. Make sure to smash the tomatoes. Add spices (I used garlic, pepper, cayenne, salt, and shallots). When liquid is hot again. add radishes, potatoes, and carrots. Simmer as long as you like. After the starchy things are cooked, add corn and green beans.


Serve when hot. A baguette on the side if you like.
