Instructions

Brown the beef cubes in a splash of olive oil.
If you are using a crock pot, cook the beef and potatoes on a low heat for about three hours, and add the seasoning.
Add the rest of the vegetables and cook on low heat for another hour. The other vegetables tend to get too squishy if you cook them the full four hours.
Serve with a warm loaf of crusty French bread.
