Hearty Beef Sweet Potato Stew
My part of the world remains somewhat chilly (tho nothing like it is usually) and so its a great time to make soups and stews. I had a pot roast on hand and was wondering what to do with it. The last more traditional pot roast I made (whole, cooked in dutch oven for hours) came out less than tender, I was not that happy with that.
This time I decided to break the pot roast down into stew meat to expose all of that connective tissue to the heat and liquid. WOW, it really worked this time. This stew only gets better the next day too.
I used sweet potatoes initially because 1) I was tired of white potatoes and 2) I remember hearing that sweet potatoes are more healthy for you.
