Viennese Beef Stew

1 ½ lbs beef stew meat
2 med onions
4 T butter
1-2 tsp caraway seed
½ t marjoram
2 cloves garlic minced
1 can lt beer
1 c water
1 bullion cube
1-2 tsp salt
6 med potato quartered
3 T paprika
4 T Ketchup
Sour Cream (about half container)
Optional:Mushrooms or carrots

Brown beef, onions, garlic and butter. (I use much less and EVOO too) Add seasonings, beer, water, salt, ketchup and let cook for 40 min. Add Potatos and cook until done. Add veggies the last 5 minutes or so. Stir in sour cream at the end(I use fat free and eyeball it to get the correct creamy color)

FYI - I didn't think the stew froze very well, and the meat didn't get very tender, so this might be a better recipe to make once at a time...
