Homemade Beef Stew and Biscuits

This beef stew is a brown stew and is wonderful on cold winter days or if you just want something comforting. I always make this on a snowy day so my husband and boys can warm up after shoveling and playing. The stew is even better the next day.

1 large package of beef cubes (cut into bite size)
1 large onion (chopped)
6 garlic cloves (chopped)
5-6 potatoes (cut into bite size)
3 carrots (pealed and cut into bite size)
1 package of frozen peas
1/2 package of frozen cut string beans (optional)
1 can tomatoes (chunky or sauce whatever you like)
1/3 c red wine vinegar
3/4 c teriyaki
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1c flour and 1c water (mixed until lumps are gone)
water
salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot put onion and garlic in with a little olive oil and cook till onions are translucent. Add the beef and brown. Add the tomato, vinegar, teriyaki,and worcestershire sauce. Stir and let cook for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and carrots. Add water till it covers the mixture. Let this cook covered for 1 1/2 hrs. Mix in a little at a time the flour/water mixture (this will thicken the stew) Add the peas and cut string beans. Cook for 1 hr occasionally stirring. Salt and pepper to taste.

Homemade Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tbs shortening
3 tbs cold butter
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening and butter. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter dipped in flour.I used a glass to make the circles and it worked great.Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. I you would like you can brush the top with some melted butter.Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.

Pepperoncini Chicken

This is a very easy and so tasty. Has a great kick and nice heat from the pepperoncici peppers and the garlic is outstanding.

1 package chicken parts
15-20 garlic cloves whole but smashed down with a knife
1 jar (about 12 0z.) pepperoncini peppers with seeds and stems removed (keep seeds in for added heat)
olive oil

In a large deep skillet (big pot will be fine) lightly cover the bottom with olive oil. Add the garlic, peppers and chicken with the skin side down. Turn up the heat to medium and let it cook occasionally turning the chicken. Turn the chicken skin side down for the last 10 minutes and let it cook until the skin is brown and the chicken is cooked, and garlic is browned. Serve warm.
