SOLO SKILLET BEEF STEW



Solo Skillet Beef Stew image

This was written for the Solo Cook, however it illustrates a cooking concept rather than a detailed recipe, and the serving could be enough for two people if a side salad was included with the meal. Cooking is a creative sport, so the cook should feel free to change the amounts of spices, or maybe substitute carrots for the bell peppers. A large Cast Iron Skillet with a snug fitting cover seems to work best for me. An interesting variation is to add sliced mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg at the start of the cooking, and then stir in several tablespoons of sour cream just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or stew meat are good options because they have a lot of connective tissue that will break down and become tender as the stew cooks.
  • Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the stew.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the stew.
  • Season the stew to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are good starting points.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Skillet beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish 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 delicious skillet beef stew that your family and friends will love.
