Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds blade simmering steak
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups water -- mixed with...
2 envelopes OXO
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 carrots, peeled -- cut in 1" pieces
6 Yukon Gold potatoes -- peeled and quartered
1 medium onion -- chopped
2 stalks celery -- cut in 2" pieces
1/4 cup water
6 tablespoons Bisto gravy maker -- or cornstarch
Remove fat from meat and discard. Cut meat away from bone and into 1 1/2
inch pieces. (I freeze the bone to use later for stock.) Place meat chunks
in crockpot. Mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic salt together and sprinkle
over meat. Stir to coat meat. Add 2 cups of water mixed with OXO, and
Worcestershire sauce. Add prepared vegetables. Cover and cook on low for
10 to 12 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours. About 1/2 hour before the stew
has finished cooking, add the Bisto mixed with the 1/4 cup of water. (This
will thicken stew.) Stir stew to mix, and serve. Great with homemade
bread.
Serves 5 hungry people, including 2 growing boys and a husband.
Note: I have a 5.5 quart size crockpot. If you use a smaller one, you
might have to scale down the recipe.
