I just finished making this stew; here are my thoughts and advice; perhaps it may help someone. - Make sure before you begin that you will get your misenplas on. A French term for having everything in its place; to be ready for success. (Have your ingredients ready to rock) - Watch the video a few times - Make Chef Jean Pierre's beef stock or fortify a store bought stock as per Chef Jean Pierre's instructions. I made mine from his recipe and was rewarded with one of the best stews I've ever had. The batch of beef stock I made was very large; I have a good amount left in the freezer even after making this large pot of stew. - Do not skimp on ingredient quality. Buy the best you can afford/get your hands on. This can be made for a relatively low cost considering how much it yields and how delicious it is; no need to penny pinch on this one. - And finally, do not be afraid of this recipe. Anyone can make this baby. This one is also a bit eye opening as it is utterly delicious. Invite the family over and wow them. One final note. The Chef says it would be good with mashed potatoes. After just eating this and tasting that delicious sauce/gravy this made you can see why. Mashed potatoes with this would be heavenly.

The take home for me was using the strainer to add the flour at the BEGINNING! I have been struggling with the thickening process for my beef stew since I began cooking as a young 19 year old bride, and now -- finally -- have the secret to a nice, thick sauce! My grandson came back to the house 2 days in a row, hoping to find leftovers! (I thought he came to see me, but it was really the stew...LOL.)

I’m about your age and I haven’t used that trick either. I make the roux after browning the beef. I’m a little hesitant as I use the fond from the beef and it seems sad to waste. I could always do the sieve trick, and deglaze the pan though.

@ucanleaveyourhaton

@@ytreece , what is fond please ?

@ytreece

3 жыл бұрын

@@ucanleaveyourhaton it’s the browned bits in the bottom of the pan after you roast or sauté meat/vegetables to brown them. The browned bits are a result of the Maillard reaction which occurs between sugars and amino acids in the food. The Maillard reaction happens at temperatures lower than burning, and causes food to be more flavorful and tasty. If it’s burned, it has gone too far and will be bitter. Some of the tastiness is on the food, but the browned bits in the pan (fond) can be incorporated into the dish by deglazing, or adding liquid to the pan and stirring them up and scraping the bits (fond) off the pan. Once the fond is incorporated into the liquid it can be cooked down by evaporating the liquid. This will further intensify the flavor and keep the flavorful fond in the dish rather than just cleaning the pot of the bits left behind. Sorry to give such a long answer. I am trained in biochemistry. The short answer is fond is the browned bits in the pan after sautéing or roasting something.

Quick update. I tried soaking the mushrooms in French Brandy and I used them in a stroganoff. Wow. The extra depth of flavour this gave the dish was amazing. I used 100ml of brandy and once the mushrooms were fully rehydrated (about 25 mins), I drained the mushrooms and added another 50ml of Brandy to the remaining mushroom infused Brandy. I then used it to flambé the fillet steak. Thanks Chef for the tip on not rehydrating with water.

We made this yesterday - best beef stew I've ever had! Being the rebel I am, I had to do something a little different, so we steamed the brussel sprouts and carrots rather than poaching them, and did the baby potatoes in the air fryer. This is such a great tip to cook the vegetables separately- I've never been a fan of mushy stew vegetables, plus they end up almost entirely just taking on the flavor of the stew, rather than having their own distinct flavor. A huge improvement to cook them separately!

The flour technique with the sieve... Chef doesn't need to explain why you do it, the reason is plainly visible. Genius.

Things i learned after watching: 1. The onyo is always number 1. 2. Water is the enemy, draw it out with salt. 3. Cherry tomatoes are fabulous. 4. Adding tomato paste to store bought stock (probably) will make it able to last up to 17 years in the fridge. 5. Flour goes in at the beginning of the dish, otherwise it tastes like glue.

I was delighted to find the tinned cherry tomatoes in my local shop. It smells delicious 😋 Also now I always add lentils to my stews because after the long cooking time they thicken it up nicely but disappear. I found this out by accident. I prefer this because I don't eat grains. Thanks Chef.

I wish I had half the passion for ANYTHING as this man has for cooking. The enthusiasm is contagious!

A friend taught me how to "squeak" mushrooms. He took all the fresh mushrooms that came packaged and put them in a small dry skillet - nothing added. He put the flame on underneath them and after a little while, the water started to come out of the mushrooms. He lowered the flame, moved the mushrooms around a little bit, and you heard the "squeak". The more water that came out of the mushrooms, the more they "squeaked". They tasted delicious! Thank you, Chef, for sharing all your "stuff" with all of us! You're a blessed, great fellow and we're blessed for all you show us. Whether we cook or not, our age, doesn't matter.

Chef- In addition to teaching us how to make incredible food, your energy and humor makes your videos 10 times better. Thank you!

I agree! I find myself busting out laughing at times….he’s so good!!!!

USE WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY! Chef, thank you.

Yours is the best. I've watched American, African American style AND!!! Yours...we found a winner 🏆 🥇...you get my vote. Just wow!!! I think the ruax did it. And then the baby potatoes cooked separately..come on Mayne. Touch down. Thank you! The others looked very well good but yours took the cake. 🎂 🥮 🙏🏼 France hands down from experience (best cooks in the world)

As a 19 year old young man, I find it incredibly impressive that you make these high quality cooking videos BY YOURSELF. You still got it my friend!

@@izukumidoriya1766 Yep. He makes the video's 'after hours'. It has to be that way, then there are NO witnesses as to who is responsible for the pile of 'dirty pans and utensils', left about the kitchen! Peace.

Chef Jean-Pierre is to cooking like Bob Ross was to painting. Everytime I watch one of his videos i smile and feel relaxed and happy.

13:20 I always use potatoes for sauces and soup as thickening agent. Boil them alongside with what you are cooking, then remove them into a separate bowl, mashed them, add in the liquid you are cooking, then stir and add them back to what you are cooking. The starch eventually thicken the liquid you are cooking. This method allows you to thicken sauces or soup at the end, very simple.

Watching you is a trip. I love preparing a dish of any kind for my wonderful husband. He is spoiled an hats to dine out. He tells me that every time that they don’t compare to my dish. I love watching an learning your methods.

Between his accented tones are gems of knowledge from years of experience in the kitchen....love it!

Yesssssss

I Never-ever enjoyed cooking shows, but man, You are the king! Hilarious and educative!

I love your recipes and style! But you add something that a lot of chefs don't possess. Character & soul. Thank you for sharing your endearing skill. God bless ya man!

We love ALL your recipes and give you a THUMBS UP for every video! Thanks for this beautiful recipe. I like how you thicken the stew and add baby carrots and baby potatoes. Beef stew is always a winner in our home!! God bless you JP!!

Jean-Pierre, I'm glad to have found you! Learning a lot from a genuine chef!

There is nothing more satisfying that to hear that you had success with my recipes! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 😍😍😍

Chef, thank you for the strainer trick. A roux is usually in my house ready to go, but the strainer is so cool. Only thing I have to remind myself, treat it like a roux. Don’t dump the flour in unless at a simmer or it will give you a false consistency. Thank you so much.

This is the most incredible beef stew I have ever had. I followed the recipe and it was amazing. I ate two plates full for dinner and enjoyed every bite. Thanks Jean-Pierre.

First time I have seen Chef Jean Pierre. He is a STAR! What a hit he would have been on cable tv back in the day when we all watched.... Subscribed!

I love this man and his advice about keeping flavor. Water is not flavor. Salt is important but not flavor.

You are my favourite chef. Love your videos.
