Skillet Stew was a favorite
around our house anytime of the year. A good cut of stew
meat is the key to making a great skillet stew.

2 lbs. Quality Sirloin
Tips
4 strips of bacon cooked
and crumbled
2c. Beef Stock

stewed tomatoes
1/2 - can tomato paste
2 Tablespoons flour

Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Clean and cut all vegetables and
set aside.
Cook bacon strips until crispy. (I use the microwave and cover
with a paper towel)
Crumble and set bacon aside.
In a deep skillet brown sirloin tips in bacon drippings. If you
prefer a lower fat version use olive oil or margarine.
Add beef stock. Simmer on med-low for about 30 minutes.
Add all vegetables, tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer
another 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Mix flour and water together. Add to stew and heat until
thickened.

other seasonings if you like. Serve in a soup bowl and top
with bacon. Enjoy!
