Well, on Monday's Meal Plan Post I mentioned that I would be posting the recipe for the Beef Stew that I would be making.
..........of course, I did say that I would post this on Wednesday. But.....that's life in the fast lane with two littles around :)
Sorry, better late then never.
Norm's mom sends us these wonderful cookbooks every Christmas filled with Newfoundland recipes and they are wonderful!
Thank you Mrs. Burt!
So this recipe comes from one of those books. Specifically, "What's Cooking At Grand Bank" put together from the Grand Bank Cancer Unit.
It was my first time doing this recipe and it turned out wonderful. The only thing was that since I was going to be in and out all day I did it in the crock pot so that I could set it and forget it. The recipe states to cover and simmer on the stove. The stew turned out wonderful the way that I did it but the gravy didn't thicken up. So I transferred it into a pot after to bring to a boil and then it came out beautifully. Also, the stew was a bit fresh so it really could use a bit more salt then the recipe called for. Other then that, simple and great tasting!
Old Fashioned Beef Stew
1 tsp Salt 3 cups water
2 tsp Accent 2 Onions
1/8 tsp Pepper 4 Medium Carrots
1/4 cup Flour 4 Potatoes
2 lb Stewing Beef 4 Turnips, slices
1/4 cup Margarine
Blend 1/2 teaspoon salt, Accent, pepper and flour. Toss pieces of meat in flour mixture. Reserve leftover flour. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add beef and brown. Add water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer about 2 hours or until tender. Add vegetables, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. If necessary, add enough flour to reserve to make 2 tablespoons. Combine with 3 tablespoons water and stir to a smooth paste. Gradually add to stew and cook, stirring constantly until gravy thickens.
Enjoy!
Let me know what you think if you try it. Would love to hear your thoughts.
