Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups beef broth or beef stock
  • 5 large red potatoes

  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Instructions

  1. Chop vegetables into 1 – 1 1/2 inch pieces, set aside.
  2. In a large bowl combine stew meat and flour and stir to coat.

  7. Carefully move open steam valve and release the lid. Salt to taste.
