The ultimate BEEF STEW is a cold-weather, one-pot wonder for dinner!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Beef stew is the BEST hearty and satisfying meal! Chunks of beef chuck roast are seared until golden, then simmered with vegetables and herbs in a rich and savory broth that's complex in flavor but really simple to make. The whole family will love it!
Stews are good for the soul - and this traditional beef stew recipe from my childhood is no exception. It's like another version of my Dad's favorite Irish lamb stew, but with delicious elements of pot roast. The beef chunks are melt-in-your-mouth, the vegetables become tender, and the red wine, tomato-y broth continues to build flavor as it simmers. Plus, my house is filled with the most delicious, savory aroma whenever I make this beef stew. I think you're going to love it as well!

So now I have a classic beef stew, Irish lamb stew, and apple cider beef stew (in my cookbook!). What flavor should I make next? I'm sorta thinking a vegetarian sweet potato stew. Any other ideas?? xo - Lisa

How about a no-bean chili, for those of us that don’t eat beans? You have some great chili recipes, including vegetarian, but all have beans. I’m thinking of a ground meat chili with lots of other veggies. I’ve made some that was good with grated carrots, but you are always so creative. It would be fun to see your ideas.

Moose meat, venison or rabbit stew. Even for those who think they don't like game meat, if stewed with some acidity in the broth you can barely tell it's wild meat.

My favorite stew comes from Bavaria, as do I. "Pichelsteiner stew" is wonderful rustic home cooking. To give you an idea, I'll quote from Wikipedia: "It has been proven that the recipe comes from the landlady Auguste Winkler, née von Kiesling, who comes from Kirchberg im Wald. She ran an inn in Grattersdorf until her death in 1871. The stew was probably named after the nearby Büchelstein, where the Büchelstein Festival was celebrated on a forest meadow from 1839 onwards. The quickly prepared, warm dish enjoyed general popularity there. In interviews at the beginning of the 1960s, Federal Chancellor Ludwig Erhard repeatedly stated the Pichelsteiner stew as his favorite dish, which finally made the stew known nationwide. [4] [5] Mäxchen Pichelsteiner (from the village of Pichelstein) is the name of the hero of Erich Kästner's 1963 book The Little Man. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pichelsteiner

Rutabaga and/or parsnip is a nice addition, if you like the flavor. A few drops of Worcestershire sauce adds to the bold flavor of the broth. Everyone has their own tweaks, but you can't go wrong with this classic recipe!

You can also sub out the potatoes with radishes if you are going lo-carb. Cooking the radishes really calms the heat that they can sometimes have and they are really tasty.

I wouldn't have thought to cook the meat for a whole hour before adding the vegetables but it makes sense. The meat would melt in your mouth after 1 1/2 hours. And the taste of the meat/onions/garlic would be divine. What a great informational video! Thank you!😊

The meat will taste much better after it gets a good sear. Plus, you also want that leftover "gunk" from searing to help flavor the soup!

Love beef stew! Peeling veggies is a must for me, whether carrots or potatoes! I love adding peas to mine. It’s a great pop of bright green! I always add canned stewed tomatoes too.

I appreciate the video! i watched about 3, but appreciated some of the tips and steps you took most. Didn't follow the recipe at all, but i did follow the process, and the stew is amazing! I added thick gelatinous bone broth, saved frozen chicken drippings, our epic garden scrap veggie broth, mushroom broth, and our home grown canned corn and green beans! the searing process and the order of operations was what i was looking for, and your method and tips were super helpful for this reformed vegetarian! after 28 years of vegetarianism, this momma needs to learn how to cook all the meat dishes! it's a whole dang thing. anyway, i made 4.5 gallons of stew with 10 lbs of chuck, and this pot is gonna feed my family for a while! also my dad and brother. i meal prep in a big way, too ;)

Your stew looks wonderful. I make virtually the same stew but in my pressure cooker. The only differences are that I add the seared beef and veggies into the pot at the same time, and I don't put in flour or cornstarch while the stew is cooking. Instead, I make a cornstarch slurry and add it after the cooking is done.
i do almost the same but i really like adding sprout brussuls.
