Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown sirloin tips in Wesson oil for 5 minutes.
- Cut potatoes into chunks.
- In a large pot, combine steak, tomatoes, okra, potatoes, succotash, onions, garlic powder, garlic salt, sugar, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the sirloin tips in Worcestershire sauce overnight. You can substitute fresh vegetables for the canned options, such as using fresh potatoes and green beans instead of succotash. If you want a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the mix. This dish is versatile and can also incorporate other seasonal vegetables available.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Hillbilly Stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or green onions for added color. It pairs beautifully with Marjorie Whitfield'S Quick Rolls or a side of cornbread for a comforting meal. For a complete dinner, consider a side of Marinated Slaw Pressley, which offers a crunchy contrast to the hearty stew.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the stew cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture, and warm it up slowly on the stovetop or in the microwave for even heating.
