This easy-to-prepare dish is a meal in itself. That made it a real favorite of my mother'sshe had to cook for nine children! Better yet, my brothers, sisters and I loved it. Ingredients:
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes |
king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 beef bouillon cubes |
2 cups boiling water |
salt and pepper to taste |
6 to 8 small potatoes, peeled and quartered |
3 small onions, quartered |
4 carrots, sliced |
1 package (9 ounces) frozen cut green beans, thawed |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup water |
biscuit dough: |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3/4 to 1 cup milk |

Directions:
1. Coat beef cubes with flour. Brown beef on all sides in oil in a large Dutch oven. Meanwhile, dissolve bouillon in boiling water; add to Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, for 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Add the potatoes, onions, carrots and beans; cook until vegetables are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
