I like barley , so sometimes I add this.

In a pan brown stew meat with salt/pepper/garlic.

put browned stew meat in a large pot, cover with water, and add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, chopped celery and onion, and all seasonings, cover and cook until meat is tender, add all remaining ingredients except frozen veggies, add those towards the end when your potatoes and cabbage are almost cooked through. cover and let simmer. you could probably do this in a slow cooker too.
