Root and Meat Stew

[Jean]

Root and Meat Stew

1 lb. or more meat, cubed
1 large onion
3-4 cloves garlic
1 rutabaga
2-3 carrots or bag of baby carrots
fresh or dried herbs (I used thyme and oregano)
1 Tbl. prepared horse radish (the secret ingredient)
salt and pepper to taste

Cut up meat (beef is my preference) into cubes and brown in a large sauce pan. Add a small amount of oil to pan if necessary.

Chop onions and garlic, add to pan with meat and fry until soft.

Cut rutabaga into 1/2 inch cubes. Cut carrots into pieces or use bag of baby carrots. Throw into pan. Add herbs and horseradish.

Immediately add enough water to cover everything. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about an hour or until meat and roots are tender.
