I've been going through some old cook books, I keep finding the odd recipe or two. No! That's not true! With the number of bits of paper and 3x5 cards and items torn from magazines and newspapers it's no longer odd, it's normal. I almost have carpel tunnel syndrome from trying to enter them all into my PC. I am posting a few of the best. Enjoy. Please don't ask where they came from, I haven't the foggiest.

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound small white potatoes, halved
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

CLASSIC BEEF STEW IN A CROCK POT



Classic Beef Stew in a Crock Pot image

This is the best beef stew I've ever made. It tastes great with a crunchy loaf of bread. I got this recipe from Real Simple (March 2004 edition). You'll need a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Browning the beef adds more flavor.

Categories     Stew

Time 4h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs bottom round steaks, well trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup olive oil
2 large onions, diced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
2 large potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 lb baby carrots
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large Ziploc bag.
  • Add the beef and seal.
  • Toss to lightly coat the beef.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the meat in small batches, adding more oil as necessary.
  • Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Add the onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and coat the onions then transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits and then add to the slow cooker.
  • Stir in the potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, thyme, and bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 7 1/2 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • Add the peas and heat through before serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, brown the beef shanks in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to your stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the stew. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add a nice depth of flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few bay leaves, a sprig of rosemary, or a teaspoon of dried thyme will all add a nice touch of flavor.
  • Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
