Takes a while to make but it's easy and tastes like a traditional prairie stew.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 c flour
- 1⁄4 tsp pepper
- 2 lb stewing beef
- 6 c hot water
- 1 medium turnip
- 4 carrots
- 1 green pepper
- 1 c celery
- 1⁄2 c onions
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 2 beef bouillon sachets
Instructions
Mix flour, pepper and coat meat.
Heat oil in a dutch oven or a large skillet, brown meat well.
Add water and heat to a boil. Reduce heat, add bay leaves; cover and simmer 2 hours.
Pare potatoes.
Cut turnip and potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
Cut carrots and celery into 1 inch slices.
Cut green pepper into strips.
Dice onions.
Add all remaining ingredients. Simmer 30 - 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Notes
To thicken the stew, shake 1 cup of cold water and 2 - 4 tablespoons of flour until blended. Stir into stew and bring to a boil if necessary.
* This recipe is slightly augmented from the original. I took out all the salt and replaced shortening with canola oil.
