Do you have a good stew recipe?
Basic Beef Stew
- 1 package of stew meat (cubed).
- 1 large onion.
- 3 large, or 7-8 small potatoes (An excellent possibly better substitute: turnips)
- 1 package of frozen corn (not on the cob).
- 1 package of frozen carrots.
- 3 cans of beef broth.
- White flour
- Vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
Peel, slice and dice the onion. Wash and cut up the potatoes.
Pour some flour in a bowl, then dump in the cubed beef and mix to coat each piece of beef. Brown this beef in a skillet with oil. You can be liberal with the flour because this will add body to the stew liquid.
Dump all of the ingredients in a pot or a slow cooker. I prefer the latter, preparing it in the morning, and setting it to 6-8 hours and let it go for a tasty stew. If you cook it in a pot on low-med heat, you have to keep an eye on the liquid level and I assume this would be for a couple of hours.
Usually, I add some sprinkles of hot sauce to a bowl of the final product to excite it a little.
Next time, I’m going to try this recipe which includes, red wine, red wine vinegar, and bay leaves:
