Categories     Main Dishes

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs beef stew meat
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
fine sea salt
black pepper (freshly ground)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons salted butter
3 cups beef stock (divided)
1/3 cup red wine (or beer (optional))
6 French shallots (peeled and halved)
2 small onions (peeled, cut into 8)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon, dried)
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (crumbled)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 lb rutabaga (peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes)
3 medium carrots (peeled and cut into coins)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F. Adjust oven rack to bottom third so that your pot and lid fit easily. Have your vegetables prepped and ready to go.
  • Place the beef on a tray. Pat the beef dry with a clean kitchen rag or paper towel. Stir in 1 teaspoon each fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to the flour. Sprinkle 4 Tablespoons of seasoned flour over the beef. Using clean hands or tongs, toss the beef thoroughly in the flour, making sure it is well-coated.
  • Over medium heat, melt 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon butter together in a large Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid. (I usually use an Le Creuset enameled cast iron 3.5 qt braiser.) When the butter is bubbling, add half the beef and brown the meat all over, turning each piece with tongs. It should sizzle when added.
  • When the beef is browned on all sides, transfer it to a clean bowl. Pour about 1/2 cup of beef stock into the pan to deglaze; scrape the bottom with a firm rubber spatula to get up all the browned bits. Pour this gravy over the browned beef.
  • Set the pan back over medium heat. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with remaining beef, this time, deglazing with the red wine. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Over medium heat, melt together the final teaspoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil in the pot. Tumble in the shallots and onion. Sauté for 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the dried herbs and garlic; add the rutabaga, carrots as well. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables have softened around the edges. Sprinkle remaining seasoned flour over the vegetables (about 2 Tablespoons) and stir well to coat. Cook for about a minute, then pour in the remaining beef stock. Scrape the bottom well.
  • Return the beef and all juices to the pot. Add Dijon and Worchestershire. Stir well. The stock should just barely cover the meat and vegetables. Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and place in the oven.
  • Slow braise the stew for 3 hours. Remove the lid and cook for an additional hour. Allow the stew to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools. Season generously with additional salt and pepper, tasting each time.
  • Serve with crusty bread and butter or a mountain of mashed potatoes.

BEEF STEW WITH ROOT VEGETABLES - PIONEER WOMAN



Beef Stew With Root Vegetables - Pioneer Woman image

I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe because it had so few ingredients. I was searching for a new recipe that used beer instead of my usual recipe with red wine and this was perfect. Time is your friend with this recipe. The beef needs to braise for at least 2.5 hours, maybe longer. I used 1 1/2# of beef and did not decrease the liquid amounts. I only use 2 cups broth out of the suggested 4 cups, so you may want to hold off on adding all of it at once. Just keep checking while it simmers and add more as needed along the way. It's a winner.

  • Remove the beef from the pan, (I moved the beef to the outsides of the pan) throw in the garlic and onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  • Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, sugar, paprika.
  • Return the beef to the pan, cover and simmer on a low heat until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. *This may take longer depending on how large your beef chunks are.

  • To finish, add the parsley and stir through the stew.

BEEF STEW WITH ROOT VEGETABLES & HORSERADISH RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Beef Stew with Root Vegetables & Horseradish Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by gvcathy

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pound boneless beef shoulder roast, chuck roast, or top blade, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-1/2- to 2-inch pieces
2 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or vegetable oil; more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped, about 1 cup
2 medium celery stalks, coarsely chopped, about 1/2 cup
1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped, about 1/3 cup
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 cup dry red wine
2 1/2 cups homemade or lower-salt store-bought beef broth
2 cups parsnip pieces (halve lengthwise, core, and cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 cups carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups small red potatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. In a 6-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, cook the bacon in the oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned but not crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Do not wipe out the pan. Heat the bacon fat over medium to medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Season about one-third of the beef with salt and pepper and arrange it in a single layer in the pot (there should be at least 1/2 inch of space between the pieces). Brown well on at least 4 sides, adjusting the heat as necessary; each batch should take about 10 minutes to brown. Transfer the beef to a large bowl or rimmed baking sheet as it browns and repeat with the rest of the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper before browning. Once all of the beef is browned, remove the pot from the heat to let it cool for a few minutes. Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pot. (If there is not enough, add oil to equal 2 tablespoons). Return the pot to medium heat, then add the onion, celery, and carrot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the bacon to the pot. Add the wine, stirring with the wooden spatula to dissolve any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Raise the heat to medium high and boil to reduce by about half, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the beef broth and 1-1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot along with any accumulated juice. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Crumple a 12x16-inch piece of parchment, then flatten it out. (Crumpling makes for easy handling.) Place the parchment directly on the surface of the stew, allowing the ends to come up the sides of the pot. Cover and put in the oven. After 1 hour of stewing, add the parsnips, carrot pieces, and potatoes to the pot. Cover with the parchment and lid, and cook until the beef is fork-tender, 1 to 2 hours more. (Shoulder cuts will take longer than leg cuts.) Stir in the parsley and horseradish. Degrease the stew by laying a clean paper towel over the surface of the stew and gently pushing it into all the bumps and dips, then quickly peeling it off. Repeat as necessary with more paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve. Make Ahead Tips The stew can be made up to 2 days ahead: Skip the degreasing step, cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate. Once the stew is chilled, lift the solidified fat off the top with a slotted spoon. Reheat the stew over medium-low heat to serve.
