Homemade beef stew recipe?!
Homemade beef stew recipe?
My husband is coming home soon after doing a 15 month deployment to Iraq. He will be coming home late at nigh anywhere between 12 am - 4 am and I know he will be hungry so I want to make homemade beef stew in a crock pot ( i usually make it out of the can lol)...Does anyone have any good recipes and what type of bread would be good with it EX: cornbread, homemade white bread... etc.
Answers: CROCK POT BEEF STEW
2 lbs. stew meat in 1" cubes
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. beef broth
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic or chopped onion
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. paprika
4 sliced carrots
3 diced potatoes
1 stalk celery, diced
Put meat in crock pot. Mix flour, salt and pepper and add to meat and stir to coat meat. Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix. Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours. Stir well before serving.
I would serve it with cornbread or some nice big Grands biscuits!!! Enjoy TRY THIS SITE.
http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,ho... Homestyle Beef Stew - Saute bite size chunks of sirloin or round beef, sprinkle with flour, stir and add beef broth, to make a thin gravy. Simmer about 2 hrs., covered. Add cut carrots, onion and potatoes, simmer until all is tender, taste for seasoning, add salt, pepper and dried thyme, 1/2 box frozen peas or green beans. When all is done, serve in bowls with a side salad and a fresh white Ital. or French loaf. my fave is either corn bread or a crusty italian loaf.

3-4 stalks of celery, thick chop

oh you can toss in a can of cream of his fave soup too (and a lil milk) to make it creamier I like to buy a roast and cut it up into bite size pieces rinse in water then roll in flour and fry in Canolla oil for a few minutes then place in a crock pot in beef broth with bite size carrots,onions,potatoes and celery and soy sauce, pepper and let cook on low all day long on low.
If you want more flavor then add some salt.
Good luck and I hope both you and your husband has a great time!
Oh you can also add a can of corn too that's really good! I brown the meat real good then cut it up and toss in an onion and some beef broth, let that go all day.2 hours before eating add the veggies(taters,carrots,maters,... onions,whatever I have on hand),I add a little kitchen bouquet and some bayleaf to that pot. Thicken it with a slurry of 3 tablespoons flour and 1/2 cup cold beef broth.Corn meal muffins would be good with this.
Deer meat is real good cooked this way hog meat too
or any kind of beef meat. Got additional company? add in a bag of elbo macaroni,feed an army!
