Italian Beef Stew

Please answer: Did it feed 4 adults? How did it taste and would you like this again?

1 1/2 lbs of beef cubes
2-3 carrots
3-4 ribs celery
1-1 1/2 cubs of chopped onions
14 1/2 oz can stewed dices tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp worcestershire
1/2 tsp italian seasoning

Thickening the sauce: 2-3 Tbsp of corn starch

The serving size is 5-6 adults. So I've reduces the amount of meet that goes into the stew to feed 4 adults.

Try sauce, if too salty add some water until its just right for you and your family. When almost done, take some liquid out of stew (maybe 1/4cup) ...let it cool down to room temp then mix the corn starch with it. Add this mixture to the stew. If you don't want to use the stew sauce, you can use water. Once the sauce thickens, you can eat.
