Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 #'s of stew beef
2 carrots
1 onion
2-4 potatoes
water, flour, whole allspice, bay leaves and salt
You can substitute ground allspice for the whole berry
12 whole berries = about 1 t ground.

Steps:

  • Cut beef into stew size pieces. Chop onion and carrots. The carrots should be chopped pretty thick. Fry beef and onion in a pot with some butter/oil until beef has gotten lightly browned. Pour a thin layer of flour over the beef and onion, stir. Pour in water so that it just covers the beef . Season with about 1.5-2 teaspoons of salt, 10-15 whole allspice and 5-7 bay leaves then add the carrots. Let simmer under lid for at least 1,5 hours. I prefer to let it simmer about 2-3 hours. Taste stew a few times while it simmers to check if additional seasoning is needed, or extra water needs to be added. Peel and boil potatoes. Add boiled potatoes just before serving.

Tips:

  • To make sure the beef is tender, use a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and cook it over low heat for at least 2 hours, or until the meat falls apart easily.
  • You can also use a slow cooker to make this stew. Cook the beef, vegetables, and spices on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • If you don't have any lingonberries, you can use cranberries instead. Just be sure to add them at the end of the cooking process, so they don't get too tart.
  • Serve the stew with boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
