sandra53BEEF STEW - OLD RECIPE
I made this for my parents for dinner 40 plus years ago. They both wanted to know what I used for thickening. It turns out it was the way I cut the potatoes and floured the beef before I browned it. My Dad loved my stew! Needless to say, I've been making stew the same way ever since and never without thinking about my Dad. . .
"Good times around the family table".
Ingredient
Food ration :
8 servings
2 lb
Beef
1 medium
Onion
1/2 cup
Flour
3 cup
Water
2 can
Stewed Tomatoes
1 can
Cut Green Beans
2 cup
Baby Carrots
3 large
Potatoes
2 tbsp
Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp
Salt
1 tsp
Black Pepper
1/2 tsp
Garlic Powder
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut the beef length wise with a knife, then slice each piece into bite sized pieces with the scissors. (I use steak or roast)
* Step 2
Sprinkle beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and flour before browning it in cooking oil in a medium high skillet.
* Step 3
After browning beef, sprinkle lightly with flour again and continue to stir and brown.
* Step 4
Add one cup water to browned meat and stir. This will make a nice brown gravy base for your stew.
* Step 5
Chop onion and add to gravy base in skillet. Simmer a minute or two. No need to fully cook onion at this point. Then pour into large crockpot.
* Step 6
Add the undrained tomatoes and undrained green beans to the crockpot.
* Step 7
Cut baby carrots lengthwise in half. The bigger ones can be quartered lengthwise.
* Step 8
Slice celery into small bite sized pieces and add to crockpot.
* Step 9
Choose 3 large potatoes for the stew. (Baker Size) Quarter potatoes lengthwise, save two quarters back, and then slice the rest into normal bite sized pieces. Add to crockpot.
* Step 10
Cut saved quarters of potatoes into tiny pieces.
* Step 11
Add last bit of potatoes to crockpot. Then season stew with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and worcestershire sauce and stir well.
* Step 12
Add 2 Cups of Water to crockpot and stir stew again. Let cook on high crockpot setting for 4 1/2 hours to 5 hours. Cooking time really depends on how you like your vegetables cooked.
* Step 13
