Purity Cookbook Savoury Beef Stew image

This the best beef stew recipe I have ever found. It uses simple, everyday ingredients, but has wonderful flavour. I have modified it slightly from the Purity Cookbook version by including a bay leaf, the peas, and increasing the worcestershire to 1 tsp. from 1/2 tsp. in the original recipe. Excellent either way.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb stewing beef
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons shortening or 3 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup tomato juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning (msg)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup diced potato
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced celery
1 cup water
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut stewing beef up into bite-size pieces and toss with the 1/4 cup flour in a large mixing bowl.
  • Using a large covered skillet, melt the shortening in the skillet over fairly high heat and dump beef & any remaining flour into the skillet. Begin stirring as it browns; after a few minutes, add the chopped onion into the skillet and continue to stir until the meat is all well browned.
  • Sprinkle the salt, Accent, garlic powder & black pepper over the contents of the skillet, then add the tomato juice & bay leaf. Stir to mix, then lower heat, put on the lid & let it stew gently for 1 1/2 hours. You may lift the lid & stir occasionally to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the skillet -- it will become very thick.
  • After this first stewing period, stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, water, parsley & worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil again, give it a good stir, then lower the heat, cover & let it stew gently for another hour.
  • During the last 10 minutes, remove lid, add the 1/2 cup frozen peas -- cook for the remaining 10 minutes, permitting the liquid to cook down a bit and the peas to heat through.
