The following recipe for Retreat Beef Stew is from SurvivalBlog reader John M. He says: ‘The best stew I have ever tasted or made in over 50 years of cooking.”
Ingredients
- 3 lbs lean hamburger
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 3 cans of diced tomatoes
- 8 med yellow potatoes
- 1 diced med onion
- 4 med carrots
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon A1 steak sauce
- 6 tablespoons salt (or less, to taste)
- 4 tablespoons pepper
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoons of yellow mustard
Directions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the hamburger
- When about halfway browned, add finely diced onion, and garlic.
- When fully browned, add beef broth and cook about 10 minutes on med heat.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and most of the spices.
- Cook for another 2 hours. (The secret is to not allow the stew to boil.)
- Add additional spices (to taste) and cook on low heat for another hour.
