MAKE THE RUE:
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
ADD TO THE RUE:
4 c water (or 2 14 1/4 ounce cans of beef broth and skip the bullion)
3 beef bullion cubes
1/2 bag of frozen mixed vegetables (or as many as you want)
3/4 tsp kitchen bouquet
1/4 tsp black pepper
ADD AFTER SIMMERING:
diced left over beef. (as much as you like)
1/2 can of diced tomatoes, undrained (can use a big can or small can)

Steps:

1. Melt the butter in a large stock pan. When it is melted, add flour and stir to blend. Immediately add the beef broth (or water and bullion cubes) Whisk constantly till it starts to bubble.
2. Add frozen vegetables, Kitchen Bouquet and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
3. After simmering, add your diced meat and can of diced tomatoes. For the tomatoes, sometimes I use a big can, sometimes I add a smaller can. Depends on what is in the cabinet. It is a very forgiving recipe.
