Lets get it started

Hello everyone,
This is my first official post! I am very excited!
Today is very yucky outside, so I decided to make some comfy food. I made Potatoe and Beef Stew (in Russian we call it "Zharkoe").

1 lb beef 
2 onions
2 carrots
5 potatoes
Couple of bay leaves, olive oil, salt and pepper


Heat up some olive oil in dutch oven. Add beef cubes and cook it until browned on high. Cut onions, shred carrots and add to the meat. Add some salt, pepper, bay leaves and cook it until all the juices run out. Meanwhile peel and cut potatoes into cubes and add them to the meat. Add some water and cook it on low for about 30-40 minutes.
