Ten Minute Beef Stew Beginning To End Including Cleanup!

Ten Minute Beef Stew Beginning To End Including Cleanup!

Did you ever get a craving for something hardy but did not either want to or maybe not feel up to making it?
That was true for me. I have been recovering from exhaustion and at the same time I have been craving beef stew.
Its not that hard to make but it would take too long to make right now. Last night I began to think about how I could make it and have it taste like home made  and had cooked all day.
Midnight last night as I was heating up some Tyson Beef for my cat (yes she has to have a midnight snack or she makes me pay big time!)
Anyway as I sat there feeding her an idea came to me and I decided to try  what I  came up with. I didn't have anything to loose but I could be enjoying beef stew tonight.
I took out a 1 quart pot and got started.
This is how I made it:

Ten Minute Beef Stew Beginning To End Including Cleanup!

Ingredients:

1 cup of Tyson ready cook beef

1/2 cup of Mediterranean Vegetables 

1/2 cup of mixed vegetables.

1 teas of gravy master (your choice if you use it)

1/4 package of brown gravy mix 

1 cup of water

1/2 tablespoon of flour (use Wondra its easy and fast)

1 tablespoon of margarine or butter

Directions;

Start by making a rue. If you are not sure what that is, it is simply butter and flour. 

This is what thickens the gravy.

What you do is melt the butter and add the flour stiring all the time an smoothing out the flour. 

Pour the water and gravy mix in the pan and stir. Add the gravy master if you are using it at this time as well.

Once the gravy is mixed add the vegetables and stir in.

Turn the burner down to simmer and while the flavors are blending wash the dishes.

Its done 

It did not take even ten minutes from beginning to end including cleanup!

Now all you need is some good crusty bread! 

Time to enjoy!
