Categories     Stew

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 roasting chicken (about 1-1/2 pounds)
6 cups water
2/3 lb ground beef
1 1/2 lbs onions, diced (about 4 cups)
3/4 lb smoked pork (pulled pork, or 1 pound ground pork, see note)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup barbecue spice
2 (15 ounce) cans cream-style corn

Steps:

  • • Cut chicken into pieces, place in a stockpot and cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • • Remove chicken and pour stock into a bowl or large measuring cup.
  • • When chicken is cool, discard skin. Pull meat from bones and discard bones. Tear meat into small pieces. Six ounces of smoked chicken meat may be used in place of raw chicken, and water or canned broth may be substituted for stock.
  • • In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until about half done.
  • • Add onions and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add chicken and pulled pork. Stir and cook until well mixed and heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • • Transfer the meat mixture to the stockpot. Stir in 4 cups of the reserved chicken stock.
  • • Stir in tomatoes and their juice, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, sugar, barbecue spice and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 1 hour.
  • • Stir occasionally, adding stock if needed.
  • Note: When substituting ground pork for smoked pulled pork, cook the ground pork with the beef and add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the stew with the other seasonings.

Categories     Steak

Time 1h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs cube steaks
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
3 cups beef stock or 3 cups bouillon
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Cut each steak into the desired serving size, if necessary. Salt and pepper each steak lightly and dredge in flour. Shake off excess. Set aside.
  • If you don't have a skillet with ovenproof handles, you can use a Pyrex dish or an earthenware pan with a cover for the oven. Heat a heavy 12-inch skillet (cast iron, if you have one) with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil. Brown the cube steaks on both sides and set aside.
  • Pour off all of the oil except 1/3 cup. Add 1/3 cup of flour to the oil and stir. Allow the mixture ot brown over medium-low heat and stir frequently to prevent it from burning. When the mixture is about the color of peanut butter, add the onion. Stir and allow the onion to cook for about 1 minute.
  • Slowly add the beef stock, stirring constantly. Add the Wercestershire sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Return the cube steaks to the pan, cover, and bake in a 275 degree oven for one hour.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats for a richer flavor. Smoked sausage, chicken, and pork are all great options.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat. A little bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder can really kick things up a notch.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the stew with cornbread, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can also top it with shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.

Conclusion:

Brunswick stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover meats and vegetables. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give Brunswick stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
