Ingredients For Making Old-Time Beef Stew Recipe
1 lb. stew meat
1 Tbsp. oil
Brown in large pot, then add:
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 large onion
, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp. sal
t
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper
Assorted chopped vegetables
(potatoes, carrots, green beans, broccoli)
4-6 cups water
Simmer all ingredients for about 1 hour, then add 2 packages brown gravy mix (with just enough water to mix them) (Mom usually just adds one gravy mix and it still turns out wonderfully:) Serve hot with breadsticks. Makes 4 servings.
(It made more like 6-8 servings for us [Lara's family]) .
Note: I (Lara) also added 1 cup of pearl barley and for the vegetables I used 4 potatoes, 1 sweet potato, 1 large onion, and a head of broccoli. It turned out a little too thick, so I added another cup or two of water and a bouillon cube for flavor.
The kids LOVED it!
Enjoy!
