Solo Skillet Beef Stew
camping recipe
Category: Beef   Rating: 7.5
Backpacking: No Effort: average Serves: 1-2 Prep time: 1-30m
 
Ingredients:
  • 3 - 4 oz. of lean beef, sliced very thin.
  • 1 C white OR yellow onion
  • 1 C green bell pepper
  • 1 medium potato, peel intact.
  • 1/2 tsp salt OR 2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce.
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 12 oz of beer OR red wine
 
How to Prepare:
Cut the onion, green bell pepper and potato into 1/2 inch pieces.

Heat the oil in a large skillet, add butter and then saute the onion until
nearly transparent. Add beef and stir until the beef if browned.

Add bell pepper, potato, spices, and flour. Stir and then add the liquid.

Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Adjust flavor as needed.

Serve with a green salad and bread to sop up the gravy.

Cooking is a creative sport, so the cook should feel free to change the amounts of spices, or maybe substitute carrots for the bell peppers. A large Cast Iron Skillet with a snug fitting cover seems to work best for me. An interesting variation is to add sliced mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg at the start of the cooking, and then stir in several tablespoons of sour cream just before serving.

CAMPING TIP

Have you tried the modern equivalent of the haybox? The way to have a slow-cooked stew (meat or bean) and a warm sleeping bag ready when you get back from a long wet walk - get the food ready in the morning, boil for 10 min or so, then leave wrapped in your sleeping bag to finish cooking!! Saves on gas too
