(stewed beef)

-1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
-1 1⁄2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 2-inch chunks

1) Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over med-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Season with salt, then cover with water; cover Dutch oven and bring contents to a boil.
2) Place Dutch oven in the pre-heated oven for 2 1/2 - 3 hours; meat should be very tender.
