Lori's Beef and Gravy image

I learned how to make this dish in Home Ec. while attending German school. It's one of my kids favorite dinners. Note: This recipe ends up with a lot of gravy. I usually like that, because I can freeze some for other sauce-less beef or just over mashed potatoes/rice/noodles on a meatless night.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs stewing beef, cut into bite size pieces
6 cups water (approx)
beef bouillon cube (I use Knorr or Maggie)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper
nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the cubed beef in a medium sized pot. Add water. Include the bouillon cube. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Separate the meat from the broth and keep the liquid hot.
  • In a skillet on medium heat melt the butter, sauté the onions until transparent then add garlic. Continue until you can just smell the garlic aroma.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and cook until slightly brown. Using a whisk, pour in the hot broth until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Place the meat in the gravy and continue cooking covered on low for another 1/2 hour.
  • Peak in and stir every so often adding water if needed to get the desired gravy consistency that you prefer.
  • Taste for salt and pepper. add freshly grated nutmeg to taste if using.
  • I have served this over potato dumplings (packaged or homemade), rice, mashed potatoes, noodles.
