Steps:

• 1. Brown the beef stew meat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
• 2. Add the onion, tomatoes with their liquid, beef broth, tapioca, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. If you are using a skillet, transfer this to a pot you can put in the oven or you can transfer this to a Crock Pot.
• 3. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and stir. Add all the vegetables and cook until tender.
• 4. If I'm using my Crock Pot, I add the vegetables in at the same time I add the meat mixture. I slow cook it most of the day.
• 5. Just a note, I always double this recipe because we love to have leftovers. I've have even had to triple it before. The recipe feeds 4 to 6 people one good size bowl of stew each.
