So I have a pound of beef stew meat (pieces) and went to put it on in my crock pot, and just realized I let a friend borrow the crock and I don't have it..... Well I've never made beef stew in anything besides the crock, so I have no idea how to do it in a pot on the stove... Here's how I usually make mine...

Season and sear the meat, put it in the crock with a package of lipton onion soup mix, let it cook for about 4 hours, then add cut up potatoes and carrots, cook for another 3 hours and it's done.

So can you tell me how to do this on the stove in a pot? I'm sure if simple and self explanatory, but I just wanna get it right :-) Thanks moms!

I always  make beef stew on the stove and it never takes more than 3 hours to make, i dont use the soup so im guessing it would work the same on the stove. Add your tomatoes and carrots at the same time as the soup and it should be fine.

Dont forget to stirr every 10 minutes or so, you dont want it to dry up and burn.

 Throughout the world, there exists a group of women who feel mightily drawn to giving care to women in childbirth. At the same time maternal and independent, responsive to a mother's needs, yet accepting full responsibility as her attendant; such women are natural midwives. Without the presence and acceptance of the midwife, obstetrics becomes aggressive, technical, and inhuman.

buy a couple of the big cans of stew and put your meat in the crock pot with it.  It will be ok

hmmm ok just saw you currently do not have the crock.  OK fry up your meat like usual and then put it in the pot with the canned stuff.  No one will be able to tell.    Just let it simmer for about an hour.
