Steak and Brat Stew

Yep... sounds a little... mmmm.. but it's good. IIIIIIII thought so, anyway! Mom and hubby both ate all of theirs and according to Denny if he eats it, it's good. LOL  oh yeah, there are things he takes a few bites of and that's it. Done.

No exact amounts on most things in the recipe; we all know we all change the recipes anyway, and besides, I don't necessarily measure things when I cook.

Steak and Brat Stew

  • Steak, cut into bite size chunks
  • 1 brat, style of your choice, cut into bite size chunks
  • 1 medium onion, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 green pepper cut into chunks
  • flour for gravy later
  • frozen biscuits
  • frozen veggies, I used a bag of Santa-Fe Medley
  • bay leaf
  • salt
  • Italian seasoning
  • broth
Brown the steak and brat in a dutch oven/soup pot. Add the onions and peppers and broth. I used frozen beef broth and pork broth. Add your seasonings, cover and simmer for two or three hours. About half hour before you plan to serve, add the frozen veggies and bring it up to a boil. Once it starts boiling, drop around 7 or so frozen biscuits into the mixture, cover and cook about ten minutes, uncover and cook ten minutes more.
Once the biscuits are finished mix some flour with milk and pour into your mixture and stir until thickened and cook a little more till the flour is all cooked in well. Now, take it to the table and serve.

I didn't know if the frozen biscuits would work, but I tried it and they worked just fine. I am sooooo glad cause I'm gettin' spoiled with frozen biscuits. My biscuits from scratch are... well... not good. LOL 

Enjoy!!
