Beef Stew

1 lb stewing beef
2 tbsp bacon fat
4 cups beef stock
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a large saucepan over a medium-high heat, combine the onions, celery, carrots, potatoes with the bacon fat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the beef to the saucepan and brown. Add the tomatoes, beef stock, mushrooms and spices. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook for about one hour. Stir a few times during the cooking process. Remove the lid and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes. If the mixture is too thick at the end of the cooking process, you can add a little bit of water or stock.

Enjoy!
