BEEF AND PEPPER STEW



Beef and Pepper Stew image

Provided by Kimberly Killebrew, www.daringgourmet.com

Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds stewing beef, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 large red bell peppers, seeded and cut into chunks
2 large yellow bell peppers, seeded and cut into chunks
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 large potato, cut into chunks (optional)
1 large yellow onion, cut into chunks
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups beef broth
½ cup dry red wine
⅓ cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
1 teaspoon crushed whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the cubes of beef with the salt, pepper and flour, toss briefly to thoroughly coat the beef.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef, a few cubes at a time so as to not overcrowd. Brown the beef on all sides and transfer to a plate.
  • Add the bell peppers, onions and garlic to the Dutch oven and cook for 5 minutes until softened, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the red wine and bring to a rapid boil for 2 minutes.
  • Return the beef to the Dutch oven with the remaining ingredients. Bring the stew to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered for 90 minutes until the beef is fork tender.
  • Note: This stew is even better the next day.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 pounds beef stew meat or chopped chuck roast
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground chili powder
5 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium beef broth, plus more if needed
One 7-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Pimiento Cheese and Bacon Grits, recipe follows, for serving, optional
5 slices thick-cut bacon
1 1/2 cups stone-ground grits
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup half-and-half
Two 4-ounce jars diced pimientos, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot over high heat, heat the oil and butter. Working in 2 batches, cook the beef until browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, garlic and some salt and pepper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
  • Add the beef broth and chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the meat is fall-apart tender and the liquid is thick, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Check occasionally and add more beef broth if the sauce becomes too thick or dry.
  • Serve immediately and garnish with the green onions, or allow to cool, cover with foil and refrigerate. To reheat, cook at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Garnish with the green onions before serving.
  • If serving with the Pimiento Cheese and Bacon Grits, spoon the hot stew over the warm grits in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and serve immediately or cover with foil and refrigerate. To reheat, cook at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Garnish with the green onions before serving.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove it to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the grits and salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the half-and-half and cook until the grits are tender and creamy, about 20 more minutes.
  • Add the pimientos, cream cheese, Cheddar and mustard and stir until melted together and combined. Chop the bacon into small pieces and add to the grits. Stir in the pepper and serve.

BEEF PEPPERPOT STEW WITH SPILLERS' DUMPLINGS



Beef Pepperpot Stew with Spillers' Dumplings image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

21 ounces well-trimmed stewing beef, preferably from the shin (may substitute stewing chicken)
4 1/2 cups beef stock or water mixed with 2 teaspoons yeast extract
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 (4-inch) piece fresh ginger, very thinly sliced
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
6 allspice berries
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces yams or potatoes
14 ounces sweet potatoes
16 ounces fresh pumpkin or butternut squash
4 large green onions
2 to 4 hot red chiles, preferably Scotch Bonnet
1 (16-ounce) can coconut milk
1 (16-ounce) can lima beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup spinach or callaloo (amaranth), washed, stemmed, destalked, and shredded
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch kosher salt
4 to 5 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • For the pepperpot: Wash the stewing beef and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the meat into cubes around 5/8-inch thick and transfer to a large ovenproof casserole or heavy-bottomed saucepan. Combine the beef with the liquid, thyme, ginger, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and allspice berries, then adjust the seasonings with salt, and pepper. Bring the ingredients to a boil, skim the froth from the top of the liquid, cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Peel the yams, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. Cut the yam into pieces the size of large potato wedges. Cut the sweet potato and pumpkin into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Discard the pumpkin seeds. Bash the green onions with a heavy knife to release their flavor. Dice the chiles (wear gloves), and add with the vegetables to the pot along with the coconut milk and lima beans. Stir the ingredients, and simmer gently, covered, for another 25 to 35 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender, and cooked through. Add the greens around 13 minutes before the cooking time is up.
  • For the dumplings: Mix the flour and salt together in a mixing bowl, and then gradually stir in the water to form a dough. Pull off 24 small pieces from the dough 1 piece at a time, and roll them into rounds or long pointy-ended ovals. Cook's Note: If you want bigger dumplings, use a double-sized piece of dough, and roll it into a round, pressing a small indentation into the top of it with your thumb.
  • Drop the dumplings into the hot pot immediately after rolling, around 8 minutes before the cooking time is up. Taste the dumpling, and add extra salt, and pepper, if necessary.

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds beef chuck (preferably grass-fed), cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons berbere seasoning
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon

1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Fresh mint leaves, for serving
Cooked couscous, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously season beef with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and shake off excess. Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high, and swirl in 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Add half of beef in a single layer and cook, turning a few times, until browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving fat in pot. Brown remaining beef; transfer to plate.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Swirl remaining 1 tablespoon oil into pot, still over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell pepper until onions are golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and berbere seasoning and cook, stirring frequently, until tomato paste is caramelized, 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce and wine; boil until mostly evaporated.
  • Return beef and any accumulated juices to pot along with broth. Bring to a boil. Cover pot, transfer to oven, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Remove pot from oven and stir carrots into stew. Cover and continue cooking in oven until beef is fork-tender and carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour more. Stir in chickpeas; return to oven for 5 minutes more, just to heat through.
  • Ladle stew into shallow bowls, sprinkle with mint, and serve. Cooled stew can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen up to 3 months.
