Step 1

Brown beef cubes in olive oil with salt, pepper and any other seasoning you desire. Remove from pan if needed and brown chopped onion in more olive oil for about 5-10 minutes. Add both to large pot or slow cooker along with bouillon dissolved in boiling water. Add water to reduce the saltiness if needed. Simmer mixture for about 3 hours to tenderize beef.

Step 2

Add vegetables that have been cut into 1 inch chunks. Simmer til tender. Adjust seasoning to taste. Stir corn starch into 1/4 cup cold water and stir into boiling stew to thicken for a few minutes. Serve.

You can add any vegetables you like or serve over mashed potatoes.
