Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 pounds beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and gristle, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 celery stalks, sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine, such as Merlot
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 dried bay leaves
3 pounds winter vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, turnips, and parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss beef with flour; season with salt and pepper. In a large (at least 7-quart) Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in two batches, shake off excess flour, and sear beef on all sides until browned, 8 to 10 minutes (use more oil for second batch, if needed). Transfer beef to a plate, and set aside (reserve pot).
  • Add onion, celery, and garlic to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot, until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return browned beef to pot. Stir in tomatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 2 hours. (If liquid reduces too quickly, add a little more water.)
  • With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a large bowl. Pass remaining contents of pot through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl; discard solids. Return beef and strained liquid to pot; stir in winter vegetables. Simmer over medium-low, partially covered, until beef and vegetables are fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, stirring occasionally.

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 pounds beef stew meat
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 can or bottle beer
4 cups beef broth, more as needed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 carrots, roughly sliced
2 parsnips, roughly sliced
1 small turnip, roughly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, optional
Minced fresh parsley, for garnish

  • Heat the oil and butter in a pan and brown the beef. Remove the beef from the pan, throw in the garlic and onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Pour in the beer, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, sugar, paprika, salt and some pepper. Then 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. If the liquid level gets too low, add more broth as needed.
  • Add the carrots, parsnips and turnips and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced, about 30 minutes.
  • If the stew is still too liquidy, remove a cup of cooking liquid from the pan and stir in the flour. Add the flour mixture back into the pan and stir. Simmer for 10 minutes until the stew is thick. The meat should be very tender; if it's tough, let it continue to cook.

BEEF STEW WITH WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES



Beef Stew With Winter Root Vegetables image

This is another winner from my old and trusty Bon Appetit magazine. I love this stew. And it's really easy to modify for your own tastes (which I have) I like potatoes in my stew, so I modified it to add them. I usually throw this all in a crock pot after I brown the beef. It makes a really delicious easy dinner or left over lunch. *Cooking times are approximate*

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.

1 medium onion, diced
12 ounces beer, I used Heineken

1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 carrots, peeled, roughly sliced
2 parsnips, peeled, roughly sliced
1 small turnip, peeled roughly sliced, I did not use
3 medium baking potatoes, peeled, quartered

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, I used Wondra (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat off the beef and cut into 2" cubes.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a pan. I use a Dutch oven.
  • Season beef with salt & pepper. Add beef to hot pan and brown the beef.
  • 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.
  • Pour in the beer, 1/2 of beef broth, (I started with 1/2 the beef broth and added more when necessary, I only used 2 cups total)
  • 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.

  • About 30-45 minutes before the beef is tender, add the carrots, potatoes, parsnips and turnips and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced, about 30 minutes.
  • If the stew is still too liquidy, remove a cup of cooking liquid from the pan and stir in the flour / Wondra. Add the flour mixture back into the pan and stir. Simmer for 10 minutes until the stew is thick. The meat should be very tender; if it's tough, let it continue to cook.
