Country Beef Stew
2 lbs. Round steak, cut into 1” cubes (or 2lbs. beef cubes) 2 medium red onions, sliced 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into ½” pieces 1 tbsp. garlic, minced ½ tsp. salt 1 tsp. ground black pepper 2 Tbsp. canola oil 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1 cup all purpose flour ¼ cup canola oil ¼ cup burgundy wine 1 ½ cups beef stock cooked egg noodles
In a large bowl, mix together thoroughly the beef cubes, onions, carrots, garlic, salt, pepper, 2 Tbsp. canola oil and vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two (2) days; occasionally turning ingredients.
Remove cubes and place in a large plastic bag. Add in flour, close the bag and shake; coat cubes thoroughly. In a 12” non-stick skillet, heat ¼ cup of oil on high heat and brown the cubes on all sides. Drain on paper towels; remove to a 2-quart round casserole dish and mix in the marinated vegetables. Drain oil from the skillet; deglaze the pan with the wine and gradually stir in the beef stock. Pour over the meat and vegetables. Cover with the plastic wrap and put back into the refrigerator overnight.
Preheat oven to 300 F. Cook for three (3) hours, stirring occasionally, and serve over the cooked egg noodles.
Serves six.
