Calories: 380kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chuck tender roast stew meat, or any cut of beef you prefer
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 large onion sliced into thin wedges
- 1 can condensed beef broth
- 1/2 cup steak sauce like A-1, generic works fine here, more can be used for more flavor
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tablespoon beef flavor enhancer like Beefer-Upper, beef base of bouillon could be substituted
- 8 ounces button mushrooms cut into quarters
- 1/2 large onion cut into large dice
- 1 green pepper sliced optional
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Cut roast into 1 to 2-inch cubes.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter until it just begins to turn brown, but don’t burn it.
- Add the beef cubes and turn heat up to medium-high.
- Let meat sit for a few minutes until browned. There may be browned bits of meat stuck to the bottom of the pan and that’s a good thing.
- Stir the meat a few times and continue browning. This will not crust up like beef stew, just a quick cook/steam is what you want.
- Add the wedge cut onions, beef broth, one can of water, steak sauce. Worcestershire, and flavor enhancer.
- All mixture to come to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
- Allow meat to simmer for about an hour.
- Add mushrooms and continue to simmer until meat is tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Just before serving, increase heat to medium-high and add the large dice onions and cook just until onions have softened slightly. Slices of green peppers should be added now if using.
- Mix cornstarch with about 1/4 cup of water.
- Bring beef mixture to a boil. Add cornstarch slurry and bring back to a boil. Turn off heat.
- Serve over rice, egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or grits.
