Soutwestern Beef Stew

Brown 3-4 pounds beef chuck, trimmed and cut into cubes in 1/4 cup oil (I used canola) in batches.

Set aside.

Cook 2 onions, chopped for 5 minutes.  Add 2 cloves garlic, minced and cook 1 minute more.

Return meat to pot (along with juices, of course!).

Add 1 (28 oz) can roma tomatoes with juice,

12 oz beer (I was lucky enough to have some good Italian beer left at my house from my friend's visit),

2 (4oz) cans diced green chilies,

1 cup low sodium beef broth,

11/2 teaspoon cumin and 2 teaspoon oregano,

and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer (partially covered) for 2 1/2 hours.

Then give it to your 15 year old son with baby potatoes and enjoy!
