SWEET POTATO AND MOLASSES BEEF STEW



SWEET POTATO AND MOLASSES BEEF STEW image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef     Low Cal     Lunch     Simmer

Yield 4 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the meat:
1 lb stew meat (I cut this into smaller 1/2" chunks) Top round steak is good
1/3 c flour
1 t paprika
1/2 t ground thyme
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
For the Stewp:
2-3 c beef broth
1 T molasses
2 bay leaves
For the sweetness:
1.5 c diced sweet potato, peeled & cut into roughly 1/4" cubes (one medium sweet potato)
1 c carrot, peeled & cut into 1/2" pieces (about 2 medium carrots)
3/4 c celery, cut into 1/2" pieces ( about 2 stalks trimmed)

Steps:

  • Place the flour and spices in a large Ziploc bag and mix together. Add the meat and shake to coat thoroughly. Using 1.5 T oil added bit by bit, heat a large skillet. Add a third of the coated meat and brown on all sides. Place the browned meat in a stock pot and then repeat the process with the rest of the meat adding the remaining oil to the pan as needed. You are just searing the meat you are not trying to cook it all the way through... it is okay if parts are still uncooked! Add the beef broth to cover the meat. Stir in the molasses and add the bay leaves. Heat the mixture up to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer this for 1 hour. After the stew has simmered for 1 hour, add the sweet potato, carrots and celery. Return the stew to a steady simmer, cover, and cook for about 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and season the stew to taste with additional salt and pepper. Makes 4 good sized portions at 358 calories a serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or braising pan.
  • Sear the beef in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't overcook the beef, or it will become tough.
  • Add the vegetables in stages, so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice.

Conclusion:

This beef and sweet potato stew is a hearty and flavorful meal that's perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying dish, give this stew a try.
