Slice the onions thinly.
-
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the fat over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly browned.

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

Simmer the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
-
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Slice or cube the cooked beef and add it to the skillet.
-
Simmer the beef in the sauce for 5-10 minutes to heat through and absorb flavors.

Note
Use any leftover roasted beef, such as roast beef or pot roast. Tougher cuts work well as they become tender during simmering.
For a richer sauce, use beef stock instead of water and bouillon.
You can add other vegetables like carrots or peas to the stew for extra nutrition and color.
Serve with mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock.
