Recipe Introduction


The best Beef Stew you will ever make.




List of Ingredients




1-1/2 lbs (.7 kg). to 2 lbs (.9 kg). round steak (fat and gristle removed)
3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
1 small onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup (125 ml) water
2 tbsp (30 ml) flour
3/4 cup (175 ml) beer
2 cups (475 ml) beef broth or bouillion
4 clove garlic
2 tbsp (30 ml) brown sugar
1 bay leaf
3/4 lb (.3 kg). potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
salt and pepper, to taste



Recipe



Cut round steak into bite size pieces and have ready.
In a large pot over med-high heat, heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil; add onions.
Cook until the onions soften and just start to brown, about 10 minutes.
Remove onions from pot and set aside.
Add 2 tbsp (30 ml) oil to pot and let heat for 1 minute.
Add beef pieces until the pot is full, but not crowded.
Brown the pieces, then transfer to a bowl.
Repeat with remaining beef, add more oil if necessary.
Turn heat to high and add water.
Scrape up all the bits of meat stuck to the bottom of the pot.
Toss the reserved browned beef with the flour.
Combine floured beef and onions in the large pot with the water and
drippings.
Add beer, brown sugar, bay leaf, garlic, and enough broth to completely
cover the meat.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the stew to a simmer; cover, reduce the heat to low and let simmer
gently for 1 1/2 hours.
Add potato chunks and stir to mix.
Cover and let simmer gently until the beef and potatoes are tender, about 60
minutes.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Comments
This stew makes its own gravy. Can add dumplings, if you like.
