I found my Mom’s skillet when I was cleaning out the basement–I have this basement project ongoing and I have friends helping me weed through years of stuff laden with memories. I have friends who are generous and loving (both with the gift of time and emotional support) instead of being judgmental. A blessing for sure. So, this skillet . . . I’m still not sure if I’m going to keep it or give it to Goodwill but for now I have a couple of recipes that I make in it.
My stew recipe:
I browned Laura’s Stew Meat–I bought it at Target and it was very lean.
I added onions, carrots, celery and potatoes to the meat, with a little olive oil and sautéed them for several minutes–until the onions started to caramelize.
Add 3 tablespoons of flour and stir until everything is coated but you can’t see the flour.
Add beef stock–and bring to a boil, then simmer until the veggies are cooked.
I keep it on simmer until the gravy is just how I want it (some days I want it thinner and some days thicker).
Serve with biscuits, butter and honey!
Be Blessed.

Love the skillet! And, I’ve been looking for a stew recipe. I make tons of soups and chili in the winter but never stew. I think I might make this recipe this weekend! Plus, it would give me good reason to eat biscuits :)
I thought about you and your crockpot!!
Stew is so good! I’m going to try it again with them–
Be Blessed.
This looks like the perfect meal for a cold winter’s day… Thanks for sharing with the Thrive @ Home community!
