Categories     Stew

Time 3h30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -3 lbs stew meat, cut into big bite size pieces
3 -4 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into big bite size pieces
1 bag carrot, peeled and cut into big bite size pieces
1 bunch celery, cut into big bite size pieces
1 -2 clove garlic, chopped fine
1 large onion (I keep this whole because I can't digest onion. Love the flavor but can't eat the actual onion)
1 bottle ketchup
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If it is cool or cold weather, it is best to put this in the oven (or a crock pot) and let cook for a while.
  • Take a large pot (I use a dutch oven) on med high heat and add whole bottle of ketchup.
  • Fill empty bottle with water and rinse out bottle with it, Pour this water in pot with ketchup.
  • Add carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic and onion.
  • When all of this has been cooking for a 1/2 hour or so, coat meat with flour and brown in large pan with a little oil.
  • Cover with a lid and let this simmer for a few minutes.
  • Meat will be soooooo tender.
  • add meat mixture (oil, drippings and all) to the veggies.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the salt and pepper.
  • Let this cook until it is thick and the veggies are tender.
  • The"secret" is the ketchup.
  • The stew doesn't taste a thing like ketchup though.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some flank steak that I needed to use up and this stew was the perfect solution. It turned out great!
