CROCK POT BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW
A crock pot can be a great time saver for busy moms or people who work. I like using mine because I can make a meal and still take a nap or rest while it cooks. I don't have the extra energy always to stand and cook for hours. This recipe is full of my favorite foods. Serve this with crusty bread to sop up the extra liquid.

Steps:
- Pat the cubed meat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Toss the meat in flour.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add half the meat in a single layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove meat from pot, and transfer to a bowl. Add 1/3 cup of wine, and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any browned bits on the bottom of the pan (if wine evaporates too quickly to scrape up browned bits, add some stock). Transfer cooking liquid to bowl with meat. Wipe pot clean, and repeat process with remaining meat.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven, and add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 minutes.
- Deglaze pan with remaining 1/3 cup wine, and return reserved beef and cooking liquid to pot. Add stock and tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add carrots and mushrooms. Cook, covered, until meat and vegetables are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW
Steps:
- In a small bowl toss the beef well with the lemon juice, add the flour, and toss the beef until it is coated with the flour. In a heavy skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it brown the beef. Transfer the beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl and in the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onion and the mushrooms over moderate heat, stirring, until they are just tender. Add the wine, simmer the mixture for 1 minute, and stir in the consommé, the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes, stir in the beef and the juices that have accumulated in the bowl, and cook the stew until the beef is heated through. Serve the stew over the noodles.
Tips:
- Use high-quality beef chuck roast for the best flavor and texture.
- Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which would result in steamed meat instead of browned.
- Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a heavy bottom to evenly distribute heat and prevent scorching.
- Choose your mushrooms wisely. Different types of mushrooms have different flavors and textures, so choose ones that you enjoy.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables. They add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew.
- Use a good quality red wine for maximum flavor enhancement.
- Let the stew simmer for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
- Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Conclusion:
With its tender beef, flavorful mushrooms, and rich broth, beef and mushroom stew is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold winter night. It's also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights. Just be sure to give the stew plenty of time to simmer so that the flavors can fully develop. And don't forget the crusty bread or mashed potatoes to soak up all that delicious broth!
