DAD'S HOME MADE STEW


As you may have guessed by now, My Dad was terrific in the kitchen and especially phenomenal at the bar-b-que. No-one could do a Sirloin Steak like my Dad! This is his recipe for his infamous stew. I hope you love it like I do!

Preheat oven to 325 F. Place a large onion, quartered, stewing beef and a little water into a roasting pan. Let is roast at least two hours, covered, until meat is tender. (add water if needed).

Precook turnip, cubed, on stove in large pot... Do Not Drain! When they are just about soft, add the beef and onions and some sliced carrots. Cook at least a half hour. When carrots almost done, add quartered potatoes and Simmer for another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. Add flour, Bisto and a bit of HP Sauce for gravy and taste. Add water as needed - but you shouldn't need too much.
