V-8 BEEF STEW



V-8 Beef Stew image

Don't let the fact that it's made with V-8 fool you. The sauce thickens and becomes almost unrecognizable as having V-8 in it. I cobbled this recipe together between BH&G, mom, and Joy. It makes a lot, but that's ok, because the leftovers get more delicious with time, as the flavors blend with each other.

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds beef chuck (preferably grass-fed), cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces frozen pearl onions, thawed, drained, and patted dry
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (14.5 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
4 carrots (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 Yukon Gold potatoes (1 pound), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously season beef with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and shake off excess. Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high, and swirl in 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Add half of beef in a single layer and cook, turning a few times, until browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving fat in pot. Brown remaining beef; transfer to plate.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Swirl remaining 1 tablespoon oil into pot, still over medium-high heat. Cook onions until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce and wine; boil until mostly evaporated.
  • Return beef and any accumulated juices to pot with broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Cover pot, transfer to oven, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Remove pot from oven and stir carrots and potatoes into stew. Cover and continue cooking in oven until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour more. Stir in peas; return to oven for 5 minutes more, just to heat through.
  • Ladle stew into shallow bowls, sprinkle with parsley, and serve. Cooled stew can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen up to 3 months.

Tips for Perfect Beef Stew:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are ideal cuts for beef stew as they contain a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Sear the Beef: Searing the beef before braising adds a depth of flavor to the stew. Brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it develops a nice crust. This step helps seal in the juices and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: In addition to the classic carrots, potatoes, and celery, consider adding other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, and mushrooms. This will add more flavor and texture to the stew.
  • Use Good Quality Broth: The broth you use in your stew is important as it forms the base of the flavor. Use a flavorful broth, such as beef broth or a combination of beef and chicken broth. You can also use red wine or beer as part of the liquid for a richer flavor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your stew generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves for extra flavor.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Beef stew is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. Braise the stew in a covered pot or Dutch oven over low heat for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. The longer you cook the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Thicken the Stew: If you want a thicker stew, add a cornstarch or flour slurry towards the end of cooking. Whisk together equal parts cornstarch or flour with cold water until smooth, then stir into the stew and bring to a simmer. This will help thicken the stew without making it gummy.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and comforting beef stew that will warm your soul. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or a more creative variation, there is a beef stew recipe out there for everyone. So grab your ingredients and get cooking!
