Weather has turned down the thermostat so:

Lean AAA beef cubed, seared and gently saute'd in red wine added to;

Mushrooms sliced thin and saute'd in olive oil, red wine vinegar, red wine and paper thin garlic slices, added to simmering;

Beef stock, with;

onions, celery, corn, peas, potatos, tomatos, zuchini, seasoned with;

Sage, italian seasoning, garlic, oregano. Will take about 1 1/2 hours to cook slow on the stovetop.

9 hours from now we'll sit, sip some red wine, serve the stew with some crusty Italian bread and think happy thoughts.
