Denniss Stew - stewing beef

Method

• Layer potatoes, then carrots.
• Top with meat;.
• sprinkle meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper and flour.
• Spread with chopped onions.
• Combine beef broth and tomato sauce and pour overall.
• Cover and cook on low 7 -8 hours or high 4 -5 hours.
• Instead of sprinkling the meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper and flour as the recipes says, I mix those all together in a small bowl.
• This prevents the flour from becoming clumpy.
• Instead of chopped onions, I use 3 or 4 small yellow onions whole (I'm not an onion fan but still like the.
• taste they give the stew.
• ).
• I add about 1/4 cup barbecue sauce to the top, before.
• putting the cover on.
• I use whatever variety of sauce that I have on hand.
• I don't usually buy the "regular" flavor of any brand, but instead have hickory, brown.
• sugar or garlic and onion flavors.
• The BBQ sauce adds an extra "kick" to the meat and gravy.
• For the beef broth, since I don't usually keep that on hand, I dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube into 1 cup boiling.
• water.
