TODAY'S RECIPE IS:

BEEF STEW  


Ingredients:

1 pkg. BeefStew Meat

4 large red potatoes

1 bag of peas & carrots, and string beans

1 onion

2 stalks of celery

4 beef bullion cubes 

Breading for the meat:

1 cup of flour

Seasoned Salt, Accent, Pepper, Garlic, Meat tenderizer,  Onion Seasoning

First bread the meat & fry it until it's half way cooked.  (I usually do that in the same pot I'm going to put everything in.  Then once it's half done I put in the vegetables with a cup of water.  Quarter red potatoes & slice the onion.   Put in the 4 beef bouillon cubes now let simmer (covered) for an hour (stirring every now & then).  After the hour of simmering take a glass of cold water & mix some of the already seasoned flour. I'd say four heaping tablespoons (until the water is almost white after stirring).  Pour into stew making a thicker gravy.  Let simmer for about half hour to an hour.  I usually add more season salt to taste.

So now all you have to do is sign our linky to lead us and/or our guests to you to swap a recipe.  Check them all out, and we'll check yours.  If you don't want to write it all down & know of one on line just post a link to it on your blog or leave it in a comment if you prefer!  Enjoy and Bona Petite!!!  Thanks for cooking/sharing along with us!  Nummers to all!
