Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 pounds cubed beef stew meat
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 large potatoes, cubed
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
2 cups boiling water
2 (1 ounce) envelopes onion soup mix
3 tablespoons butter
3 large onions, quartered
2 tablespoons minced garlic
½ cup burgundy wine
2 (6 ounce) packages fresh button mushrooms, halved
¼ cup warm water
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

Toss the beef, flour, and salt in a sealable bag until the beef is coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the beef and Worcestershire sauce in the skillet; cook until the beef is evenly browned on all sides; transfer to a slow cooker, but do not clean the skillet. Add the carrots, potatoes, parsley, and pepper to the slow cooker.
Combine the boiling water and soup mix in a small bowl; add to slow cooker.
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the melted butter until soft; transfer the onion and garlic to the slow cooker and return the skillet to the heat. Combine the wine and mushrooms to the skillet; cook until the mushrooms begin to absorb the wine; pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
Place the cover on the slow cooker and set to High; cook for one hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook until the beef is fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours. Whisk together the warm water and cornstarch; stir into the stew; cook uncovered until stew thickens, about 15 minutes.

BEEF STEW-FAMILY FAVORITE

Beef Stew-Family Favorite image

This is a recipe that I got from Leanne Ely's Menu Mailer cookbook but adapted to our likes. I make a big batch and freeze for later meals. This can be easily doubled or tripled. ***Potatoes are cooked separately. I found that they break down too much and don't freeze well when cooked in the stew. I put a little in each bowl when we eat the stew freshly made. For what I freeze, I put an appropriate amount in the freezer bag and top with the stew, seal and freeze.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 lb beef, cubed into bite size pieces
2 carrots or 12 baby carrots, sliced
2 cups water
1 tablespoon beef base
2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
salt and pepper
1 (14 ounce) can green beans
1 (14 ounce) can corn
1 (14 ounce) can peas
2 potatoes, cubed cooked separately

Steps:

In a large pot, heat oil over medium/high heat and sauté onions, garlic and celery till translucent.
Add beef and carrots to onion mixture and continue to cook until meat is browned (sometimes I even skip this step if I am in a hurry).
Add water, beef base, Mrs. Dash and salt and pepper taste.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 2 hours until the meat is nice and tender.
Add canned vegetables and cook until heated through.
Serve with dumplings or a nice roll.
Extra stew can be frozen in a zippy bag.
***I slightly undercook the potatoes separately because I found that the potatoes held up better when I froze the stew.
