GRANDMA'S MULLIGAN STEW



Grandma's Mulligan Stew image

Grandma was born in the 1800's in Kansas. This is her recipe for the perfect fall meal. Crops were ripe and the weather was cooling. (I also like to freeze the needed veggies to make this family favorite during the winter months.)

Provided by Ishi3179

Categories     Stew

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2-2 lbs ground beef
3 zucchini, about 6 in. long, sliced
3 yellow squash, about 6 inches long, sliced
2/3 cup bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh cut corn or 1 1/2 cups frozen cut corn
28 ounces tomatoes, crushed (use canned or peeled fresh tomaotes)
2 teaspoons salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot, brown the ground beef well and drain (I like brown, not gray colored meat. more flavor and eye appealing).
  • Hold the corn until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the beef.
  • Add water to cover about 1/2 inch above ingredients (add more if needed later).
  • Cook until all ingredients are tender.
  • Add corn, cook another 5-10 minutes, adjust salt if needed.
  • Serve with a nice loaf of home made bread for a delightful 1 pot meal.
  • If I'm in a big hurry, I sometimes start the cooking of the squash and peppers in the microwave so they will tenderize quicker once the ingredients are combined.
  • I sometimes serve some form of potato with this to round out the meal a bit.
  • Note: I've tried adding things like onions and mushrooms, but it just isn't true Mulligan Stew and the perfection of the flavor balance is lost so I suggest you stay true to the recipe as given.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb chuck steak

  • Use a pressure cooker. Seal the meat in a small amount of oil, add onions, garlic, bay leaf marmite and stock. Bring to pressure then turn off the heat and leave the pressure cooker on the stove and allow to come to normal pressure so that you can remove the lid. Do not remove the pressure manually.
  • Add the tomatoes, potatoes and other vegetables except the peas, stir well then pour the lentils over the top. Do NOT stir the lentils in at this point or they will burn onto the bottom of the pressure cooker. You have been warned!

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your corn stew the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients.
  • Choose the right type of corn: You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn for this recipe. If you're using fresh corn, cut it off the cob. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it before using. If you're using canned corn, drain and rinse it before using.
  • Cook the corn properly: Don't overcook the corn, or it will become tough. Cook it just until it is tender.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to your liking: You can add any vegetables or herbs that you like to this recipe. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley.
  • Season the stew to taste: Be sure to season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
