Beef Stew

Another recipe that I love and have always been cooking this dish on a regular basis and I was pretty surprise that I didn't actually share this with you all. Anyway, here's the recipe. You may use lamb if you prefer especially for those of you who don't eat beef......... :D




Ingredients:-
- 500g beef
- 300g potatoes
- 200g carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsps flour
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 650ml hot water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 pepper

1. Rinse meat, drain and cut into 3cm cubes or you may buy those pre-cut ones. Peel carrot and potatoes into 3cm cubes as well. Chop garlic finely.
2. Add meat, garlic and plain flour into a non-stick pan/wok/pot and stir well. Cook under high heat for about 3 minutes, mix well. (no need for any cooking oil)
3. Add hot water, dried bay leaves, dried thyme, potatoes, carrot, salt and pepper to the meat mixture and boil.
4. Stir constantly so that the ingredients do not get stuck to the bottom of the pot.
5. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes and carrots are tender.
6. Add another 50-100ml of hot water if the stew becomes too thick.
7. Serve with rice.
