Beef Stew Redux

I decided to make another attempt at beef stew, this time without the slow cooker. I started by browning some onions along with bacon.

I had marinated the beef in red wine. It went into the dutch oven along with the onions, bacon, beef stock, and chicken stock. The dutch oven went into the oven, lid ajar, for about two hours.

After the beef had cooked for awhile, I added an assortment of vegetables: chunks of carrot, turnip, parsnip, pearl onions, okra, and green beans.

Another hour of cooking and I had enough stew for several evenings.
