Balsamic Ginger Beef

Since Im still on strike, there are times when our fridge and freezer start to get a little empty and I have to get creative with dinner. Today I found a package of stewing beef and decided to throw this little creation together, and it turned out AMAZING. Dont let the picture fool you, it was a plate cleaner.

1 Package Stewing Beef, chopped into 1 inch cubes
2 Packages brown gravy (2 for 1 at the dollar store)
4 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tsp Worchesire Sauce
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Tbsp Chopped Ginger
1 Tbsp Cooking Oil

In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat
Toss in minced garlic, and cook 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned
Add chopped ginger, cook for another 2-3 minutes
Add beef, and stir often, cooking until meat is just browned, about 5 minutes
Meanwhile, mix both packages of gravy with 3 cup water and bring to a boil in a saucepan over medium high heat
Add balsamic vinegar and worchesire sauce

Once meat is browned, transfer entire pan to slow cooker, including juices
Top with gravy mixture, coating evenly
Cook for 7-8 hours on low setting

I served this over mashed potatoes because it's all we had in the house, but it would work well with egg noodles aswell.

Turned out perfectly :)
