Reduce heat to medium. Stir in sauerkraut and tomatoes. Gradually stir in broth, scraping up bits from bottom of pan. Add potatoes, sausage, caraway seeds and pepper. Simmer 1 hour 10 minutes or until meat is tender.
Potatoes can be par-boiled before adding to stew.
Ham can be used instead of or with the beef stew meat. It is one of the oldest traditional Polish dishes and is a good way to utilize leftovers. This recipe came from a newspaper article. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
