Here is a very easy recipe for a delicious and filling beef stew.

I like to save the broth from Swiss Steak and use it to make a hardy stew. Sometimes, I refrigerate the broth and follow with stew a couple of days after I make Swiss Steak. However, I usually freeze the broth and pull it out on a day when I want to throw together a quick, hearty meal. Because the leftover broth has all the flavors of the Swiss steak (onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc.) I do not have to add any seasoning to the soup.
The ingredients vary from one stew to the next. I encourage you to use what you have on hand.
Beef Stew Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. stew meat (any inexpensive meat, with fat trimmed and cut into bite size pieces)
- 6-8 cups leftover broth
- 3 potatoes, chopped
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 1 celery stick, chopped
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 1/2 cups frozen green beans
- 2 cups uncooked noodles (I used gluten free noodles)
- 2 Tablespoons of corn starch (optional)
Directions:
- In a large pot, brown meat.
- Add broth, potatoes, carrots, and celery and bring to a boil.
- Add noodles, green beans, and corn; bring back to a boil and cook for 10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente. Serve immediately.
I think that the starch from the potatoes and noodles thickens the broth enough. If you prefer a thicker broth add the cornstarch to the broth while it is still cool. Stir well and proceed with the rest of the directions.

That looks like a lovely stew. I do something similar when I save the juice left over from pot roast and cook noodles in it.

That looks delicious. We also freeze most leftover broth from cooking, but had not thought to do it with swiss steak (I don't know why). What a great idea!!
