Ingredients
1.5-2 pounds chuck roast or stew beef1/3 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 Tbsp coconut oil or lard2 cups hot water (use beef broth for extra flavor)1/2 cup whole milk
Cut the meat into large cubes and trim all visible fat. When the meat is in cubes or chunks, set it aside. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Place the meat in the bowl and toss it in the flour, coating it on all sides. Meanwhile, heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated chunks of beef into the hot oil. Brown them on all sides. This will take about 10 minutes of cooking. Save the leftover flour in the bowl. You will use it later for the gravy. After the meat is well browned, add the water. Bring the meat to a boil. Reduce the heat so the water barely simmers. Cover the pan and allow it to simmer for 1-2 hours. If the water simmers away, add more as you see fit. After two hours, the meat should be tender. In a pint size canning jar, or other container with a good lid, combine the remaining flour and the milk. Screw the lid to the jar on tightly and shake it until the flour is completely dissolved in the milk. Then pour this into the skillet on the stove, to thicken the gravy. Stir it up and bring it to a boil. Continue cooking for a full minute. If the gravy is too thick, add water until it is the consistency you like.

This is simmering on my stove right now and smells awesome. I didn't have a full 1 1/2# of meat so I added a chopped white onion and will add some crimini mushrooms the last half hour of cooking to bulk up the recipe this time. My guys will love it served over rice. Thank you for sharing! - 2/6/09
