We make these in the campfire. You can prepare them at home and freeze them for later consumption:
The ingredients are to prepare one meal. Just multiply to get the total quanity.
1/4# Sirloin cut into 1" cubes
1 potato cut into bite size pieces
3/4 cup sliced carrots
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 onion, chopped
1 clove of minced garlic
A dash of salt and pepper.
2 Tbs butter or margarine cut into small pieces
Mix the ingredients together. Place on a sheet of aluminum foil and seal into a tight package. Wrap the package in another layer of aluminum foil. Place into refrigerator for no more than two days, or place in a plastic bag if you're going to freeze it.
If you froze the packets, place them in the refrigerator 24 hours before you cook them so they are thawed. Light a campfire or prepare some charcoal until you have a good bed of coals. Place each foil packet on the coals for 12-15 minutes. Flip and cook another 12-15 minutes. Remove from the fire with tongs, place on a paper plate, unwrap and enjoy camper's stew.
