BEEF STEW
This will make a pretty big pot-full. You can just do 1/2 a recipe if you don't want that much.
2 1/2 LBS stew beef, cut into chunks
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup oil
1 large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 cups water
4 beef bouillon cubes
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
5 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
1 16-oz bag baby carrots, cut into chunks
4 stalks celery, trimmed & cut into chunks
In a 6-qt pot, heat oil to medium-high.
Toss beef chunks in flour, reserve any remaining flour
Brown 1/3 beef chunks in oil, remove to paper towel to drain. Brown remaining 2/3 beef (in 2 batches), following the same steps.
Reduce heat to medium.
To drippings in pan, add onion and garlic; cook and stir about 3 minutes until onion is almost tender.
Stir in reserved flour.
Add water, bouillon, salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce; cook and stir until slightly thickened.
Add meat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer about 2 hours or until beef is tender**
**I use Costco beef stew meat, and it is very good quality, so I never have to simmer it longer than about 1/2 an hour. You can test a bite every now and then to see if it's done. May not have to cook it anywhere near 2 hours.
Add remaining vegetables, heat to boiling, reduce to low, cover, and simmer about 30 minutes until all vegetables are tender.
If not thick enough, you may add a little flour (2 or so TBS) mixed with cold water (should be soupy, not too thick) - stir in and heat until at desired thickness.
