Late Night Stew

MMMMMMMMM anyone up for some late night beef stew??????My lovely brother gave me a boat-load of beef (he has done this before) they buy a cow or 1/2 a cow and give me the meat they do not all eat....course he eats the steaks and such....but OHHHHHHHHH he does give me good cuts, plus LOTS of hamburger. And folks this is the best meat around--fresh off the farm--free-ranging and corn-fed cows-injected with NOTHING!!! soooooo quite a few roasts and lots of hamburger and stew meat....basically a freezer full...sigh...He says he loves giving it to me because of how much I love to cook...hahahaha...So...I get this meat at thanksgiving and I DO already have a lovely pot of stew cooking a we speak. You brown the stew meat in the cast-iron dutch oven, all over and then cover with beef broth and simmer for a bit till almost tender. Add lovely carrots,quit smoking now, small red potatoes,quit smoking, lots of coarsely chopped onion, several cloves of fresh minced garlic, a small can of stewed tomatoes to give it that "extra punch" seasoned with sea salt and pepper, Rosemary and a bit of sugar to take away the tartness of the tomatoes....and thicken with little flour and beef broth to make a delicious kind of gravy (but not too thick)...Serve with corn bread muffins slathered with butter and this wonderful orange-blossom honey...sigh....and farm fresh milk...mmmmmmm you are all welcome to join in a late-night supper there is PLENTY....and the company here is second to NONE!!!!!!....
