Beef Stew #1

Recipe By : gmccague@sol.UVic.CA (Gordon McCague)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package beef
4 large potatoes
4 carrots
1 onion -- cooking
2 bay leaves
1 can 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.
