Beef Stew #1

Title: Beef Stew #1
Categories: Stews
Yield: 1 servings


1 pk beef
4 lg potatoes
4 carrots
1 onion -- cooking
2 bay leaves
1 cn peas -- optional

Brown the beef with the onions in a large pot. Once
the meat is brown add 3 cups of water and bay leaves.
Heat over medium heat while you peel the potatoes and
carrrots. Add potatoes and carrots to the stew pot.
Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until
potatoes are tender. Mix up a flour and water mixture
to thicken the stew. Add it right to the pot. No
need to remove the meat/veggies. Stir well to make
sure you don't get lumps. Add pepper/salt/whatever you
like for spices. I sometimes add garlic when rowning
the meat. Oregano is a nice touch as well. Once the
stew is thickened you can serve it. Sometimes I make
dumplings with the stew. I usually buy a box of
Bisquick as it has a recipe on it. Unfortunately I
cannot relay the recipe to you as I don't have any in
the house at the moment. You would have to talk to my
grandmother if you wanted to make them from scratch.
Isn't that the way it always is.
