Grandma's Homemade Beef Stew

Place stew meat, water, onion, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cook over medium heat until meat is fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Do not drain.

Add carrots and potatoes to the stew, stir, and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. Stir in celery, green beans, corn, peas, crushed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and let cook for about 1 hour.
