2 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix

1 (29-ounce) can of whole tomatoes
6 medium potatoes, cut into large but still bite size chunks
3 cups of whole baby carrots
1 cup of celery, cut into 1 inch slices
1/2 bag of frozen pearl onions

Here's what you need to do:

In a large pot, brown the stew beef in the vegetable oil. Add the salt, pepper, Lipton onion soup mix, beef broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 1 hour.

Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, pearl onions, oregano and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat cover and simmer another hour or until veggies are tender.
