A delicious meat stew with its roots in the Franco-American culture of Maine. It uses less tender cuts of meat, and root vegetables so its perfect for a chilly fall or winter day.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 pounds of lean beef or pork cut in to 1 1/2" pieces, less tender cuts of meat are perfect for this dish

  • 2 cloves

  • 1 cup leeks sliced in 2 inch pieces
  • 4 stalks of celery, cut in 2 inch pieces
  • 2 cups of potatoes, cut in 1 to 1 1/2 inch chunks (use Yukon Gold, they hold up better to the cooking process than Russets)

  2. Put the meat in a large slow cooker with the beef broth.
  3. Add all the spices and vegetables around meat.
