- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
- 16 ounces stewed tomatoes

Directions

Make a roux by melting the butter or margarine, then stirring in the flour. Brown gently.

Gradually add 2 cups of the water to the roux and stir until smooth. Add the remaining water, the carrot, onion, celery, frozen vegetables, canned tomatoes, and beef base granules.

In a skillet saute the steak in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine until browned. Drain off all the grease.
