Beef Stew
This is a great dinner an a cold winter night. And as you all know, it's even good in the summertime at Willow Hill!! Marjorie loves this - especially the biscuits!
Prep Time
20 minutes
Cook Time
47 seconds
Total Time
20 minutes 47 seconds
Ingredients
- 2 lbs lean stewing beef (or more!)
- 1 can tomato sauce (small)
- 1 onion cut up (good sized)
- carrots
- potatoes
- 4 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Brown beef in a small amount of oil - add onion and continue browning.
- Add tomato sauce and enough water to almost cover beef.
- Cover tightly and simmer until beef is almost tender. (Keep adding water if it gets too low.)
- Add carrots (I use the baby carrots) and potatoes (either small boiling ones or large ones cut into chunks).
- Add enough water to just cover all.
- Simmer until everything is tender.
- Dissolve the flour in a little water and add to the stew to thicken it.
- If necessary, add more flour/water mixture.
- Be sure to simmer 5 minutes so you don't taste the flour.
- Fresh parsley is great added at the last minute - so are mushrooms - so is wine! Curt says add little onions!!

I make drop biscuits (Bisquick) with a little shortening added to the mix.
