Smoked Beef and Gravy by Marvine Scott

January 6th, 2010

I used leftover beef roast that Ken had smoked last summer. I had defrosted and used most of the roast and in this dish used the leftover beef.  You could use any kind of beef including hamburger that you cooked, drained seasoned etc.

Put liberal amount of olive oil in fry pan (about 1/2 cup)
Saute
1/2 diced small onion
1/2 diced yellow bell pepper
1/2 diced jalapeno
Season with garlic herb, marjoram, sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Put several heaping tablespoons of brown rice flour in the oil until it is absorbed (as if making gravy with drippings)
Add 2 cups beef broth
1/2 can coconut milk
1 – 2 cups rice milk
STIR AND COOK ON MEDIUM TO LOW HEAT

As the gravy thickens add the meat.

Enjoy over cooked brown rice (or potatoes if you prefer)
I served it with the ‘Yummy Vegtables’
