Beef Stew

 

Ingredients
1 large package Carne Picada thin sliced beef (I use any beef in my freezer when I'm broke. I just use kitchen shears to snip the meat into small bite site pieces 1.5-2lbs for a large family without leftovers) 
1 large onion
4 Knorr Beef Buoillion (cubes or Tbsp of powder)
1 packet Sazon (found in the Spanish food section)
3 bay leaves
4-6 potatoes, cubed small
1 package carrot chips (or 2 drained cans of sliced carrots, or 2 cups chopped)
2 cans Green Beans, drained
2 sticks salted butter
Greek Seasoning (or any combination of seasonings in your pantry I would use onion powder, garlic powder or mince, parsley, thyme, black pepper) 
6-8 cups of water
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 cup flour

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, saute onion and beef with 1 stick butter & Greek Seasoning until nicely seered a dark brown on at least one side. Transfer to a large pot or dutch oven. 
2. Add water (about an inch above veggies) Buoillion, Sazon, vegetables, and all other seasoning to the pot stirring well. Bring to a boil.
3. Roux: whisk in flour with evaporated milk making sure we'll blended and pour into pot after potatoes can be smashed with the back of a wooden spoon. 
4. Simmer, stirring often, for few minutes until it starts to thicken. Add other stick of butter and stir until melted.
5. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 15-30 minutes to allow it to thicken a cool before serving.
6. Enjoy! I don't recommend adding any salt until you've tasted it as the Buoillion and Sazon are quite salty.

Thanks Heather  Snider for the recipe and photo

1 lb ground beef round or 1 lb ground sirloin

1 tablespoon fat like lard or Crisco (if meat is round or sirloin) 

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 small Onion, chopped fine

water to cover

sliced dill pickles


Using a cast iron skillet with lard/crisco brown meat 

& onions till done, drain off 

grease if any and return to skillet.

Break ground beef up in skillet into small crumbles 

using the back of a wooden 

spoon.

Add 1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard, 1 Tbsp White Vinegar 

and 1 Tbsp Sugar and just 

enough water to barely cover meat in the pan.

Cook, at a simmer, till water is all cooked out-

between 15-20 minutes.

Heat your hamburger buns-they're traditionally 

steamed for loose meats.

When buns are warm, put yellow mustard on them 

and add some dill pickle 

slices

NOTE: *If you start changing this recipe and using 

things like olive oil for the 

fat 

and Dijon or honey mustard for the yellow mustard, 

And don't add any liquid 

smoke or Worcestershire sauce, you will not get the 

traditional yummy taste of 

a loose meat sandwich.

1 lb hamburger meat
2 heaping tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary leaves (not the stem)
2 Tbsp A1 sauce
3 cloves crushed and minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste 
Buns
Any toppings you desire

Mix the rosemary, A1 sauce, and garlic into the hamburger meat, distributing evenly. Add salt and fresh ground pepper. Form out the hamburger patties. Place on a hot grill or grill pan. 

If you are indoors with a grill pan, be sure to use your stove fan. If on grill pan, lower the heat to medium high. Grill on one side until you can see the juice begin to run at the surface. Flip over and grill on the other side, again until you can see some juice coming through. If you wish, brush the cut side of the buns with olive oil or melted butter and toast on remaining grill surface. Make it you own by adding any toppings you like. Lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions and mushrooms with swiss cheese, guacamole, a spicy aioli. The choices are endless.
