SAVORY BEEF STEW
Steps:
- I sautéed the onions and garlic (I used jarred minced garlic) added celery (after the onions were golden) cut in pieces. I let that cook and then added green pepper cut up in about the same size pieces. Then I added Tomato sauce (anyone will do). To that I added carrots in large pieces (1/2 a carrot or a whole one if it is small) I let that simmer a while. Before I started I had started hydrating some TVP chunks at this time I added the TVP. You could use any veggie product, canned cutlets etc. But TVP is good. Add cumin and tumeric. I let that simmer for a while adding water when it was necessary. Maybe it cooked about 35-35 minutes. I let it cool and put it in the refrigerator. I like casseroles and soups to blend overnight. You can season this to taste. Before I served it, I cut zucchini into 3-4 inches pieces and mushrooms into large pieces and added them. I cooked it just until the zucchini was soft but not falling apart. If you put the zucchini and mushrooms in immediately it will fall apart
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, short ribs, and brisket are all good options for beef stew, as they are flavorful and have a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender.
- Brown the beef before stewing. This step helps to develop flavor and color in the meat.
- Use a good quality broth. This is the base of your stew, so make sure it has a lot of flavor. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth.
- Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to your stew. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Season your stew well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
- Simmer your stew for at least 1 hour. This will give the meat time to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve your stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a beef stew that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a hearty and delicious meal, give beef stew a try.
