2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion

1 1/2 cups chopped cauliflower

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 cup fresh peas or 1/4 cup frozen peas
3 1/2 tablespoons Signature Secrets culinary thickener

Steps:

  • Cube the steak and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large, heavy pot (I used enameled cast iron).
  • Add the steak and brown on all sides. Remove to a plate.
  • Add the remaining olive oil and bring back to temperature, then add the onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms and peppers.
  • Cook, stirring, for about 15 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Add the cauliflower, beans, garlic, fresh tomatoes, corn and potatoes and stir inches.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes and broth and stir in the salt, cocoa, allspice, cumin, thyme, paprika, Worcestershire, soy sauce, ketchup and tomato paste.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and add back the beef.
  • Partially cover and cook, stirring every hour or so, for 3 hours.
  • Cover the pot completely and cook, stirring every hour or so, for 3 hours.
  • Stir in the peas and Veloutine, bring back to a boil and cook until thickened.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Brown the meat: Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the stew. Be sure to brown the meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can result in steamed meat instead of browned meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and corn.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your stew, so it's important to use a good one. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
  • Simmer the stew for a long time: This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a thick, rich stew. Aim to simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have the time.
  • Season the stew to taste: Once the stew is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides: Brunswick stew is a hearty and filling dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include cornbread, biscuits, and mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Brunswick stew is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it's also a great dish to make ahead of time. Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, I encourage you to give Brunswick stew a try. You won't be disappointed.
