Desperation Beef
Total Time: 45 mins
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
- Servings: 3
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 2 medium fresh tomatoes
- 1 green pepper (recipe only says green pepper, but i think it's one chopped fine)
- 1 sliced onion (but the recipe specifies chopped fine)
- 1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms (recipe doesn't specify, but this seems reasonable)
Recipe
- 1 cut beef into very small pieces.
- 2 brown slightly, add 3/4 cup water and other ingredients cut up into small pieces.
- 3 simmer till beef is done.
- 4 my notes:.
- 5 * this recipe was written when stew beef was the scribbly bits they cut off of everything else and was about the cheapest meat available. i suppose you could use store-ground beef for the same reason; if so it should be drained before adding the other ingredients. i used "beef for stroganoff" because it was the cheapest cut available that day. the meat is cut small to cook faster.
- 6 * i think the recipe is calling for 1 green pepper, chopped.
- 7 * i used the mushrooms undrained for a bit more liquid; it does boil away.
- 8 * the gravy is like an au-jus when you're done. i thickened it with a tablespoon of cornstarch to make a more substantial gravy.
- 9 * this is a sort of stove-top stew. it predates hamburger helper. it's not a bad recipe, but could do with some tweaking.
