Creole Beef and Rice

I wasnt too sure what Creole Beef was but this recipe from the Pet Milk Company 1942 looked interesting for dinner. It is another dish that turned out looking nothing like the photo. But... I will say.. for such simple ingredients..it was quite flavourful.

The recipe gives quantities for three different serving sizes. I chose the one for four people

1 pound lean beef (chuck or shoulder)
4 teaspoons shortening
2/3 cup chopped onions
10-oz. can condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup green pepper sliced
1/2 cup Pet Milk

• Cut beef into inch cubes
• Heat shortening in pan until hot
• Add beef and brown on all sides in 3
• Add onions and cook slowly for 5 minutes..
• Stir in the soup, water vinegar salt and pepper
• Cover and simmer for 1 hour until the meat is tender
• Add green pepper
• Cook for a further 5 minutes or until pepper is tender
• Remove meat from heat
• Stir in milk
• Do not cook after combining.
• Serve at once in nest of boiled rice
