Recipe:
INGREDIENTS-
3lbs Beef stew meat
3 cups beef broth
1 1/2 cup water
1 onion, Chopped
3 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 cup celery, chopped
5 large carrots, cut into pumpkin shapes
1/ cup bell pepper l, chopped
1 jalapeno, deseeded and sliced
Flour, enough to coat the beef lightly
1 bag mini potatoes, cut to have faces
2 tbsp cooking oil of choice
2 tbsp butter
bay leaf
seasoning of choice
salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
In a large bowl, add the beef then toss lightly with the flour. Let rest 10-15 minutes.
Then in a large pot, and oil and warm on medium high heat. Brown the floured beef and remove; depending on how much you are cooking you make have to do this in batches so as not to 'smother' the meat.
Once all beef is browned, deglaze the pan by adding the butter and melting, then 1 cup of the beef broth to remove the browning on the bottom of the pan. Immediately add the chopped seasoning vegetables and cook until tender.
Add the remaining liquids and bay leaf to the pot along with the carrots and potatoes. Cook for 20 mins alone, then add the beef and any drippings.
Add in dry seasonings as desired as well as the packets of gravy and stew seasoning.
Continue to cook until the beef is tender.
