What you Need:
- Pack of Beef (Cubed)
- Flour
- Large Onion
- Garlic Clove
- Seasoning Salt
- Beef Broth
- Tablespoon of Cooking Oil
- Butter
- Teaspoon Worcestershire
See not much at all! Lets do this...
Start by spreading some flour on a clean surface. You only need enough to coat the Beef pieces. Coat the pieces in Flour and sprinkle a little of your seasoning salt on there. Not to much, and remember we are only coating the meat not frying chicken so they should not be white.
While you are coating pour your cooking oil into a pot. Lets start it on high. When the oil is hot toss in your Meat pieces. Make sure to move them around so they can cook on all sides. The coating with serve as a thickening agent. Cook the meat alone for about 3 minutes then add in the Butter and Worcestershire.
Next add in your Onion also chopped and your garlic minced. I sure other people do it a different way its fine. What ever works for you this is just how I make mine. Try it the way you like.
Once your onions are transparent add in the Beef Broth. It is hard to find liquid Broth here in South Africa so I just used a beef broth cube and added 2 1/2 cups of water. Once the mixture starts to boil turn it down to simmering and let it cook for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. It will cook down leaving a nice gravy.
Honestly its done in an hour but the more it cooks the more tender the meat is. I hate chewing meat for 10 minutes at a time. So try to avoid that...don't make your guest work to eat.
Give it a taste. If the gravy is too thin make a rue and thicken it up. I add Worcestershire sauce to maintain the color.
Serve it up. I served mine with Balsamic Green Beans w/Sun-dried Tomatoes and Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes. Yes From scratch AND easy to make.
