Steps to make Grannys' Beef Stew:
- Put the stew meat in a pot and cover with water(less 3 or 4 chunks)
- take the 3 or 4 chunks of beef and cut them into very tiny pieces
- add the tiny pieces of beef and the seasonings to your pot and start cooking on medium low heat
- in the meantime chop the onion and add to the pot
- cover and simmer on medium low heat for a couple of hours
- after a couple of hours peal your potatoes and cut into small chunks
- add your potatoes and green beans and continue to cook on medium low
-
- note I do not brown my beef… or ever let my pot come to a rapid boil!!! this will ensure that your beef will be very tender
- about an hour later your green beans will no longer be floating and your potatoes will be tender
- this next step is a little complicated
- in a skillet heat your Crisco shortening until has all melted in is rather hot
- while your shortening is heating… mixed together your flour and cornstarch
- slowly add your flour cornstarch mixture to the hot grease
- brown flour…I use the bottom of a large cooking spoon to brown mine
- as you brown the flower uncover your pot and turn the heat up… when your part is near a boil in your flower is brown slowly add the browned flower to your pot… please know that if your stock is not hot enough… it will cause your gravy to be lumpy
- now all you have to do is sit and wait for your gravy to thicken
- just in case you're wondering…. by cutting those 3 or 4 chunks into small pieces… it will give your stew a country style gravy.. with a little bit of Beef
- also I'll have to variations of this recipe… sometimes I use half sweet potatoes and half Idaho potatoes…
- once when I got ready to add my potatoes I realized I didn't have any… so I added to packs of ramen noodles… it took less time of course… however I enjoyed both veriations
