Dad's Beef Stew image

I'm not exactly sure where my dad got this recipe, but it's fool proof and very very tasty. On day 2 I'll pour some leftover stew over egg noodles for a sort of stroganoff. On day 3 I add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp curry paste, then serve over white rice for a sort of Japanese beef curry.

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 onions, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2-2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
1/4 cup flour
salt & pepper
1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
2 medium carrots, sliced
4 stalks celery, sliced
1 bay leaf
5 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 (12 ounce) can corn
water

Steps:

  • 1. In a frying pan melt the butter, then brown onions thoroughly.
  • 2. Remove onions from frying pan and place in a large pot, leaving some of the butter behind in the frying pan.
  • 3. Place flour, salt, and pepper into gallon sized ziplock bag, add beef cubes, and mix so that all sides of the beef cubes are covered.

  • 5. Add beef stock, carrots, celery, and bay leaf to pot, simmer for 1 hour.
  • 6. Add potatoes to pot, continue simmering until potatoes are done (about 30 minutes).
