Crockpot Beef Stew

Steve has wanted me to make a stew using the vegetables out of the garden. I thought I would check out A Year of Slow Cooking to see what recipes she had for stew. I took her Traditional Beef Stew CrockPot Recipe altered it to what I had on hand.

2lbs beef stew meat
1 onion
handful of baby tomatoes - ran these through the blender / no chunky tomatoes at our house
carrots
green beans
2 cups water
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 t kosher salt
1 t black pepper
1 t seasoning blend (whatever you have on hand for bbqing, stir-frying, etc.)
1 t Worcestershire sauce
cornstarch
cold water

Wash and chop all vegetables. Put them into the crockpot. Put the meat into the crock. Add dry seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Dissolve bouillon cubes in the water and pour into crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours. About a half hour before stew is done mix cornstarch and water together and stir into stew to thicken, replace lid until ready to serve. The more cornstarch added the thicker the gravy.
