Ingredients for Beef Dinner

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Beef Stew Meat
  • Onions

How to Make Beef Dinner

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1 medium onion, chopped. Cook and stir until the meat is browned and the onion is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Pour the meat mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Arrange 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, over the meat.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup crushed potato cereal (like crushed potato chips) over the top.
  11. Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes and meat are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
