THE BEST BROWNED BEEF STEW EVER



The Best Browned Beef Stew Ever image

I originally found this recipe at Recipe Goldmine but have added and subtracted after trial and error. The original recipe called for a 10 oz pkg of frozen peas to be added during the last 15 minutes of cooking. I usually add a little rosemary and cayenne. Can add the spices you wish. This is very good!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, short ribs, and brisket are all good choices for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop the stew's rich color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic stew vegetables. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or peas.
  • Season the stew well: Beef stew should be flavorful, so don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Cook the stew slowly: Beef stew should be cooked slowly over low heat until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. This can take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Serve the stew hot: Beef stew is best served hot, with a side of bread or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is easy to make, affordable, and a hearty. It's a perfect meal for a cold winter day, cold night or when you just want something comforting and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give beef stew a try!
