Mountain-Style Beef Stew
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds sirloin tips, cubed
  • 4 1/3 cups water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 potatoes, quartered
  • 6 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can tiny whole onions
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
Instructions
1
Heat a large pot over medium heat and sear the sirloin in oil until it reaches a deep brown color. Next, add 1 cup of water to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes. As the liquid reduces, a rich gravy will form.
2
Combine 3 cups of water with salt, lemon juice, paprika, garlic, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves in a separate bowl. Add this mixture to the pot with the sirloin and liquid, then cover it and lower the heat. Let it simmer for 2 1/2 hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
3
Add diced potatoes and carrots to the pot during the last 20 minutes of cooking, stirring occasionally until they're tender.
4
Add sliced onions to the stew and cook for a few minutes. In another bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of water with the remaining flour to create a slurry. Gradually add this mixture to the stew, stirring constantly until it thickens.
5
Just before serving, stir in frozen peas and serve hot.
