Darn Good Beef Stew

Darn Good Beef Stew

Utensils: 4 quart or 6 quart saucepan

Ingredients:

2 lbs Stew Meat seasoned liberally with Darn Good Seasoning
1 24-oz can seasoned tomato juice, like V-8
2 tablespoons flour mixed in ¼ cup water
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 large onion, sliced
1 potato, diced
1 cup frozen crinkle cut carrots

Directions:

1. Pre-heat 4 qt. or 6 qt. pan. Water drops will “dance” when dropped when pan is at the right temperature.

2. Trim meat of fat and brown in pre-heated pan using no fat or oil.

3. Stir in tomato juice; add vegetables.

4. Cover with the whistle open and cook on Medium heat until vapor escapes from the valve. Then place on low heat. Cook for about 1 hour or until meat is tender. 

5. During the last ½ hour of cooking, thicken the stew. Place the flour mixture in a container with a tight lid. Cover and shake well to mix; slowly pour the flour mixture into the stew while gently stirring.
