Beef and Plum Stew (Inspired by the Hunger Games) Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Beef and Plum Stew (Inspired by the Hunger Games) Recipe). I experimented with the ingredients that I had in an attempt to make a stew that resembled the lamb and plum stew from 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. The stew in the book used lamb, but I opted to use beef since it's easier to find. It's rich, warms your belly, and super easy to make if you've got time to let it simmer. I like to serve it with a loaf of French bread, but goes well with mashed potatoes as well.
