One bowl Dinner for 4

The long weekend was decadent and lazy. By Monday night all we wanted for dinner was a one bowl meal that we could eat in front of the TV. The fridge was full of of leftover meat and veggies, so we made a stew.
I'm not usually a big fan of stew but this one was really yummy. Went well with a good, crusty bread.

Meat and Dill Stew-
1 lbs boneless meat, cubed (we used a combo of beef and pork)
splash of oil (grapeseed or sunflower is best)
4 cups light beef broth
12 to 16 mini potatoes (red, white or both) skins still on
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 onions, largely diced
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup mushrooms (optional)

In a big pot, over medium heat, heat oil for a minute or two. Add meat and fry, stirring occasionally until lightly browned on all sides (to seal in juices). Add onions and fry for a minute more. Add mini potatoes, tomatoes, broth, salt  and bay leaves. Cover and simmer over med-low heat for 10 minutes. Add chopped dill, sweet potatoes and mushrooms (if using). Cover and simmer 15 minutes more. Turn off burner and stir in frozen peas. Peas will help cool down the stew a little and cook just right in the heat of the broth.

Make sure to remove the bay leaves when serving, and keep lots of buttered bread nearby for mopping up the juice.
