SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW WITH MAPLE AND STOUT



Slow Cooker Beef Stew With Maple and Stout image

This super-simple beef stew features spoon-tender chunks of beef and a sauce that gets a deep, dark flavor from stout beer and maple syrup. The recipe calls for carrots, parsnips and potatoes, but feel free to swap in similar quantities of other root vegetables, like turnips and rutabaga, cut into large pieces. But do make sure to avoid precut stew meat from the grocery store, which is often unreliable and cut too small. A chuck roast that you cut yourself is a far better option. You can also make this on the stovetop or in the oven: Season the meat with salt, then sear it in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over high heat in a Dutch oven. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir to combine, cover and simmer on low (or in a 325-degree oven) for 2 to 3 hours until the meat is very tender and move on to step 2.

Time 10h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 large parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
3 to 3 1/2 pounds chuck roast, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/3 cup stout beer
1/3 cup maple syrup, preferably dark
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, herbs, beef, beer, maple syrup, garlic, onion and garlic powders and 1 teaspoon vinegar in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well to combine (feel free to use your hands). Cook on low until the meat and vegetables are very tender, 10 to 12 hours, stirring the stew once if possible; this helps the beef and vegetables cook more evenly, but if it's not possible, it will be fine.
  • Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you like. Serve in shallow bowls with the meat, vegetables and some sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound small white potatoes, halved
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

2 large onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
One 12-ounce bottle stout beer, such as Guinness Draught

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
3 carrots, halved and cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
½ pack thyme
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 beef stock cubes or stock pots
900g beef for braising such as skirt, buy a whole piece and cut it yourself for bigger chunks or buy ready-diced
2 tsp cornflour (optional)
½ small bunch parsley, chopped
buttery mash, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low heat until they start to soften - about 5 mins. Add the carrots, bay and thyme, fry for 2 mins, stir in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml boiling water, stir and tip everything into a slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cubes or add the stock pots and stir, then season with pepper (don't add salt as the stock may be salty).
  • Clean out the frying pan and fry the beef in the remaining oil in batches until it is well browned, then tip each batch into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or on high for 4 hrs.
  • If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a paste, then stir in 2 tbsp of the liquid from the slow cooker. Tip back into the slow cooker, stir and cook for a further 30 mins on high. Stir in the parsley and season again to taste. Serve with mash, if you like. Leave to cool before freezing.

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STEW WITH MAPLE AND STOUT



Pressure Cooker Beef Stew With Maple and Stout image

This savory-sweet stew is delightfully hands-off - no sautéing, searing or simmering. The key is the timing: Cook the beef first and add the vegetables later to ensure that the meat tenderizes while the vegetables retain some bite. Real maple syrup gives the dish a sweetness that pairs well with the mild bitterness of stout beer. Carrots, potatoes and parsnips are classic stew vegetables, but rutabaga or celery root work well, too. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the flavors of this cold-weather dish.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds beef chuck roast, excess fat trimmed, meat cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
1 cup beef broth (or 1 1/4 cups if using an 8-quart pot)
3/4 cup stout beer (or 1 cup if using an 8-quart pot)
1/4 cup real maple syrup, preferably dark
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Add the beef to a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker, season it generously with salt and pepper and toss it with the flour until evenly coated. Add the herb sprigs, the broth, beer, syrup, garlic, red-pepper flakes, onion and garlic powders and 1 tablespoon vinegar; stir to combine. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out with the steam, close the knob and wait a few more minutes, then release again.) Stir in the carrots, parsnips and potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out with the steam, close the knob and wait a few more minutes, then release again.) Remove and discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
  • Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, as needed. Add the lemon juice. If the vegetables are not tender, or if the broth is not as thick as you would like, using the sauté setting, simmer for a few minutes. (You can also stir to encourage the potatoes to fall apart a little, which will help thicken the broth.) Divide among shallow bowls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or beef stew meat are ideal for slow cooker beef stew, as they become tender and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Sear the beef before slow cooking: Searing the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and caramelize the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves are classic herbs for beef stew, but you can also add other spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Use a good quality stout: The stout adds a rich, malty flavor to the stew. If you don't have stout, you can substitute another dark beer or even red wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the beef and vegetables to cook evenly. If the slow cooker is too crowded, the food will not cook properly.
  • Cook the stew on low for at least 8 hours: This will allow the beef to become fall-apart tender and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker beef stew with maple and stout is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The maple and stout add a unique and delicious flavor to the stew. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
