Dad's Beef Stew
I'm not exactly sure where my dad got this recipe, but it's fool proof and very very tasty. On day 2 i'll pour some leftover stew over egg noodles for a sort of stroganoff. On day 3 i add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp curry paste, then serve over white rice for a sort of japanese beef curry.
Steps

In a frying pan melt the butter , then brown onions thoroughly.
2.
Remove onions from frying pan and place in a large pot , leaving some of the butter behind in the frying pan.
