Working Barn Stew Recipes

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AMISH BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Melt shortening over high heat in a large pot or dutch oven.
• Add beef cubes and brown over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 15-20 minutes.
• Add onions, boiling water, salt, lemon juice, sugar, worcestershire sauce, pepper, paprika, allspice and cloves.
• Simmer, tightly covered, for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Add vegetables and simmer another 30 minutes (covered), or until tender.
• Note: if your lid is not tight on the pot, you may not have enough liquid left to just about cover everything after you add the veggies.
• If this is the case, add more water to barely cover ingredients.
• Mix cold water and flour together and blend until smooth.
• Push meat and veggies to the side of the pot and add flour mixture slowly, incorporating into liquid.
• When gravy thickens, stir all ingredients gently to distribute gravy evenly.
• Simmer another 5 or 10 minutes and enjoy!
