Beef stew cooked on a campfire:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 carrots, sliced
• 3 stalks celery, sliced
• 1 large potato, diced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Start a campfire and let it burn down to a bed of hot coals.
2. Heat a little oil over the coals in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
3. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides.
4. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and potato to the pot and cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Pour in the beef broth, red wine, and tomato paste. Add the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf—season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 1-2 hours or until the beef is tender.
7. Remove the bay leaf and serve the stew hot. Enjoy!

Note: You can also add other vegetables to the stew, such as peas, green beans, or bell peppers. If you want a thicker stew, you can mix together a little flour and water to create a slurry and stir it into the stew to thicken it up.
