I actually can't take credit for this great tasting beef stew..
I took two recipes that were on this forum and took the best of each and combined them...the results are "a great tasting beef stew"
Here is the recipe..for "BUZYIZZY BEEF STEW" for 6 to 8 people.
2 pounds stew meat (beef) cut into 1/2" cubes
1/2 cup flower
sprinkel of salt...sprinkel of pepper
some olive oil
1... teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1... clove minced garlic or 1 tablespoon powered garlic.
1... bay leaf
1... teaspoon paprika
1... teaspoon salt
1... teaspoon pepper
4... carrots...cut up
3... potatos...cut up
2... onions....cut up
1... celery....cut up
1... cup frozen peas
1...10 oz can of celery soup
1...10 oz can mushroom soup
2...10 oz cans beef consume
1...cup water
Cut the beef into 1/2 inch cubes..sprinkel some salt and pepper...
put the cubed meat and flour into a bowel with a lid on it,
shake well to coat the meat with flour.
Brown the cubed meat in a large hot frying pan with olive oil...
put the browned meat on a paper towel, pat dry, to get rid of the oil..after this put the meat into your crock pot..
add all the other ingredients to the crock pot and with a big wooden spoon MIX WELL...
Cover and cook on...LOW for 10 to 12 hours
HIGH for 4 to 6 hours
(I cooked on high for 6 hours)
I think you could also cook this stew easily on your stove top,
I would cover and cook on simmer for about 2 to 3 hours or until the meat and veggies are tender...
This Stew is as good as it gets when you want some beef stew...
