Beef Stew

I usually don't make stews or soups in the summer, but I've been trying to do cooking on Sunday so that I have quick to heat meals during the week. This is an easy Crock Pot to have on hand.

1 lb. stew meat
2 TBSP flour
2 TBSP vegetable oil
3-4 medium sized potatoes, chopped
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup green beans (frozen or canned)
1 cup carrots
2 cups vegetable juice
1 cup water
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. crushed marjoram
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Place stew meat in a plastic bag and add flour, toss well. Heat oil in a pan and brown flour covered meat, half at time in pan. Place browned meat, potatoes, corn, beans and carrots in Crock Pot.

Mix together vegetable juice, water, Worcestershire sauce, marjoram, oregano and salt and pepper together. Pour over meat and vegetables.

Cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 9 hours.
