Beef Stew Recipe

I was visiting someone yesterday and they gave me some fresh vegetables from their garden. Picked up a few other ingredients at the supermarket, and decided this morning to fix my usual beef stew:

• one half to two thirds of a small head of cabbage, chopped
  
  
• two small yellow onions (or one large onion), peeled and chopped
  
  
• one large tomato, stem removed, chopped
  
  
• one potato, peeled and chopped
  
  
• some carrots, chopped
  
  
• one pound of beef for stew

Put everything in a crockpot. Pour in water until ingredients are covered. Add one spoonful of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stew in crockpot all morning, will be ready for lunch. What's left over can be put in the freezer, though this stew is best when eaten fresh.
