1. Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes. Trim off any sinew or fat from the meat.
2. Add the garlic, onion, and beef to a large stock pot.
3. On the stove top over medium heat, brown the meat. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot and stir.
4. Dice all of the vegetables, mix the Bisto, and add both to the large pot. Add beef broth, spices, and mix well.
5. Allow the delicious stew to simmer on low-medium for at least an hour and until the potatoes are tender. Add an additional cup of broth as needed to reach your desired consistency.
