Mommy'S Easy Beef Stew
- 1 package of trimmed beef stew cubes
- 1/2 a bag of baby carrots (small bag)
- 5-6 medium peeled and quartered russet potatoes
- 1 medium chopped yellow onion
- 4 brown gravy packets (any brand)
- 2 tbsp parsley
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- water
- In a large pot add 2 tbsp of olive oil and the stew meat. On medium high heat cook the beef adding salt & pepper to taste. When beef is done cooking add the carrots and enough water to cover then boil on medium high for 15 minutes. Add potatoes,onion and parsley. Add more water to cover just above the potatoes. Boil until potatoes and carrots are soft. Do not over cook or potatoes will turn to mush. In a measuring cup add gravy packets a little bit of water. Beat with a fork until the gravy turns into a batter like mixture. They pour into pot and stir. Boil for 3 minutes then turn down to a simmer and stir more. Remove from heat and let cool 10-15 minutes. For a thicker gravy add flour or cornstarch.
