An old family stand-by, good for large groups on cold days. This recipe is how I best remember Meme making it, but some of my own ideas may have gotten mixed in over the years. Best served (in the Kear’s opinion) with a slice of buttered cornbread or with a hot, crispy piece of Fried Bread spread with butter & honey.

How To Make beef stew, meme-style

  • Step 1
    Fill large pot ½ full of water and add stew meat. Cook at low boil for 30 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add celery & onions to meat and cook another 30 minutes or so, until meat is very tender.
  • Step 3
    Add carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, sugar, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Simmer on a very low boil for another 45 minutes to an hour, until flavors are well-blended.
  • Step 5
    May add more sugar and spices, if needed, to your taste.
  • Step 6
    OPTION: The last time I made this stew, I bought "shank" cuts of beef (with bone-in) instead of stew meat. Gave it a very rich, beefy broth base - just had to remove the meat and dice it up after it cooked, before I started adding other ingredients.
