This is the best stew I have ever had. I cooked this in a cast iron pot, and used fresh carrots, potatoes, string beans, onions, garlic, mushrooms and frozen peas. I omitted the water chestnuts. I browned a cut up chuck roast in oil and then the chopped onion, garlic and celery. I cooked this on top of the stove for 30 minutes. I then added sliced carrots, potatoes, string beans and frozen peas and put in the oven at 300 degrees for three hours.
