How To Make pot roast beef stew

• 1

  **NOTE: Quantities of beef and veggies are approximate. It varies according to your specific amount of leftovers. If all of the potatoes or carrots were eaten, add a couple of extras, diced/sliced, to the microwave dish. Use your own good judgement for the right balance. Remember to be sure to taste for seasonings; add soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Extra 1/4 can of broth may be used to thin gravy if too thick, or to combine with extra flour to thicken if too thin. If dish seems too full when all ingredients have been combined, spoon excess into small ovenproof dish.
