I love beef stew but never made it. Got some tips from my mum and just went for it. It turned out really good even though I got to talking and cooked the beef a little too long. Was done and eating it within an hour of starting to cook it. Looking forward to trying it again with addition vegetables.

Ingredients

25 mins
8 servings
  1. 2 lbCubed Beef
  2. 4 tbspPlain Flour
  3. Olive Oil
  4. 1 mediumOnion (chopped)
  5. 3 cupFrozen Assorted Vegetables (carrots, corn, peas, etc)
  6. 5 largePotatoes (cubed)
  7. 6 quartHot Water
  8. 4Beef Bouillon Cubes
  9. 5 dashWorcestershire Sauce
  10. Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Cooking Instructions

25 mins
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, add the thawed cubed beef and 2 tablespoons of plain flour. Mix until all of the beef is coated.

  2. 2

    In large stock pot add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pot. On medium heat, add the flour-coated beef and brown on all sides.

  3. 3

    In a small pan cook diced onions until soft and translucent. They could be added directly to the pot, but I prefer to fully cook them before adding to the pot. Add onions to the pot of beef and stir.

  4. 4

    In the bowl used to coat beef, add 2 cups of hot water to dissolve any remaining flour. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk until dissolved. Add this mixture to the pot and stir.

  5. 5

    Put 6 quarts of hot water into the pot and add the 4 beef bouillon cubes. They'll dissolve with time.

  6. 6

    Add frozen vegetables and cubed potatoes to the pot. Season with dashes of worcestershire sauce and heavily salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    If the stew needs thickened, add flour and hot water to a bowl, whisk, and add the mixtute to the stew until desired thickness. Do not add flour directly to the stew as it does not dissolve. You'll be picking out lumps!

  8. 8

    Simmer on low/medium heat for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. Continue to season to taste.

I'm from the US but living and working in the UK (hence why some of my measurements are US and some are UK). Love inexpensive and easy recipes :-)
