New Beef Stew

"This a great hearty dish, especially in winter. The secret, I think, in this, is starting to cook the stew meat with so many onions, really gives it a rich hearty flavor. You can add any vegetables you like too, I kept it simple and its still so good! Enjoy!"

  • Stir around abit, add some water, like a cup or so. Cover and turn to simmer. Check after approximately 20 minutes and if water is very low, add another cup or two or water, you can't add too much -- cover and let cook approximately 1 hour.
  • Add half package of stew mix, add another two cups of water, alittle bit of salt & pepper to taste, a dash of kitchen bouquet, cover and let cook until meat is super tender.
  • Add chopped vegetables, some more water if you need to, cook for approximately 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender to your liking.
  • Put cornstarch into dish and add some water to make a paste, not too thick, whisk until smooth and then add to pot. This will give your sauce a little thickness. You can adjust cornstarch and water mixture to suit how thick or thin you want the sauce.
  • Serve over rice or even egg noodle pasta.
  • ***A great twist to this! Before serving, stir in a spoon of sour cream for a creamy sauce, haven't done it myself, but would be great i know -- ***.

<p>I'm an American living in Cairo, have lots of free time and love to cook! My friend told me I know the science of food, that I am a food scientist; I was like what??? She said that I put together ingredients that she would never think of, that I know what goes with what, what tastes and works... honestly I really don't know about that, but I do love cooking. I like experimenting and making delicious, but simple meals. I love fresh ingredients, spices and enjoy preparing food for friends. I am so pleased when I see the enjoyment they get from my food. Please be patient with my recipe posts, some may seem lengthy, but I like to explain well so you will get it the first time. I appreciate this from others, so I hope you will too. Also, I never measure anything, so I will try my best to give measurements that will work for you. Anyway, enjoy my recipes on food.com!</p>
