HEARTY MEATBALL STEW

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 slice white sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
8 ounces 20-percent-fat ground beef (about 8 ounces)
2 sweet mild Italian sausages, casings removed
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound large white mushrooms, quartered
One 8 to 10-ounce russet potato, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/3-inch slices
4 ounces green beans, trimmed, cut into 1-inch-long pieces

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Place the bread and 3 tablespoons water into a medium bowl. Mash to a paste with a spatula. Add the beef, sausage, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Blend the mixture thoroughly with your hands or a flexible spatula. Form the mixture into 10 to 16 meatballs. Arrange the meatballs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until ready to use.
  • For the hearty meatball stew: Sprinkle the meatballs with the flour and turn to coat with any flour still on the foil. Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Drop the meatballs into the skillet, spaced apart. Cook until the bottoms are set and brown, about 2 minutes. Using a flexible thin spatula, turn each meatball onto an uncooked side and cook until the bottoms are set and brown, about 2 minutes longer. Turn and cook a third side, until set and brown, about another 2 minutes, so the meatballs are browned and set all over. Transfer the meatballs to a large plate.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook until soft, 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the remaining salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Provided by ambikins

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Beef

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
2 teaspoons steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®), divided
2 stalks celery, each cut into 4 pieces
2 cups water, or to cover
4 (.85 ounce) packages dry brown gravy mix
4 cups water
1 small turnip, peeled and quartered
4 carrots, peeled and quartered
7 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, and place the onion and beef into the hot oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, stir the meat and onions well, and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of seasoning. Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in 2 cups of water to just cover the meat, onion, and celery, bring to a boil, and stir and scrape the browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat and celery pieces from the pan, set the meat aside, and discard the celery.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 4 cups of water. Add the mixture to the juices in the pot, bring to a boil, and stir the meat back into the gravy mixture. Stir in the turnip and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
  • To make dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk, and lightly stir the mixture just until it combines to form a dough.
  • Remove 2 cups of gravy from the pot, and reserve. Drop the dumplings by heaping tablespoon onto the meat and vegetables in the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not peek until the time is up. Pour the reserved gravy back over the dumplings, stir lightly, and serve.

FRENCH CANADIAN MEATBALL STEW



French Canadian Meatball Stew image

This is a traditional meal in the homes of the French Canadians that will leave your home smelling of warm spices and your belly full.

Provided by Nancy Carreiro

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, minced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 egg
½ cup dry bread crumbs
6 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
¼ cup cold water
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread flour out in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the flour in the preheated oven until medium brown in color, 10 to 15 minutes; stir often and watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove the flour from the baking sheet immediately once the desired color has been reached; set aside in a shallow bowl to cool.
  • Melt butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir the spice mix into the onion. Place ground pork, parsley, egg, and bread crumbs into the bowl, and mix to combine thoroughly. Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs; roll each meatball in the roasted flour. Reserve unused flour.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot, bring to a boil over medium heat, and carefully drop in the meatballs, a few at a time, stirring to keep them from sticking on the bottom. Drop in the bay leaf. Simmer the meatballs for 20 minutes; mix in the potatoes, and simmer until potatoes are tender and the broth has reduced, an additional 20 minutes. Transfer the meatballs into a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Remove and discard bay leaf. Mix remaining roasted flour with cold water in a cup, and gradually whisk the flour mixture into the simmering broth to thicken. Bring the gravy to a full boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Return the meatballs to the stew, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, and green beans.

  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. You can use beef, chicken, or vegetable broth.
  • Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve the stew with dumplings. Dumplings are a classic addition to meatball stew and they're easy to make. You can use a packaged mix or make your own from scratch.
