Panstew and a Strike Article.
Feb. 26th, 2008 06:52 pmFirst, this is an article on the strike that I participated in: http://www.startribune.com/local/15936582.html
Second, here once again is my panstew recipe, mostly cos I can never find the damn recipe. :)
1# sirloin
2 medium yellow onions
1 cup flour
Spices: Mrs. Dash spice mix (original- yellpw cap), salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, white pepper & ground mustard
1 can consomme or beef broth (I use Campbells)
1 can sliced carrots
1 can kitchen-cut green beans
1 can whole potatoes, sliced
Canola oil
Cube the sirloin to whatever size you like, 1/2" cubes seems to work well. Mix your spices (sorry, this is to taste, you may have to experiment) into the flour in a gallon ziplock bag- I use 3-4 shakes of Mrs. Dash, about 6 shakes of ground pepper, 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 shakes red pepper, white pepper and ground mustard each. Close the bag and shake to mix.
Dice the onions fine and set aside, open and cut up the potatoes, open the other vegetables and save some of the liquid from each- you might need it to thin the stew.
Take the cubed meat and bread it with the flour and spice mix. Put about 1/4 cup of canola oil in a frying pan, heat then fry the breaded meat until nicely browned. Add the diced onion just as it approaches being done, reduce the heat some and cook til the onions clear.
Add the consomme and scrape the pan with the spatula to get up any stickage, and add the other vegetables. cook for about 10 minutes, then add more liquid if needed. Taste and re-spice to taste, simmer a few minutes more and serve. This serves 2-4 depending on appetites. :)
