How to Make Mulligan Stew

Ingredients:

• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1 lb beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cups low sodium beef broth
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon dried basil
• ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
• 2 medium gold potatoes, cubed
• 1 bag (19 ounce) frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas, and green beans)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large zipper seal bag, combine flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add beef stew meat to the bag and shake to coat evenly.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Remove beef from the bag using tongs, reserving any leftover flour mixture. Brown the beef on all sides in the Dutch oven, then transfer to a plate.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Sprinkle in the remaining flour (1 1/2 tablespoons) and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add oregano, basil, and marjoram, cooking for an additional 30 seconds while stirring continuously.
6. Stir in beef broth, cooking for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Return the browned beef to the Dutch oven. Cover and place in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
7. After 1 hour, add cubed potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables to the pot. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the stew and vegetables are tender.
