Southern Style Beef Stew

I’m Irish, so there just aren’t too many stews that I don’t want to gobble up with biscuits. This one is a little different for my Irish blood as there really aren’t a lot of vegetables going on. It’s very quick to toss together and of course, filling, as that is a major requirement for a stew.
