Beef Stew

Recipe By :Submitted by Central Park Bed and Breakfast, Louisville, KY
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Main Dish
Soups/Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds stew beef -- in chunks
(chuck steak or similar)
1 tablespoon oil - (to 2 tbspns)
1/4 cup flour - (to 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 cup red/burgundy wine -- (adjust to taste)
5 grinds from a peppermill - (to 6)
1 can beef broth
Water -- as needed
4 medium onions -- cut into wedges
4 large carrots - (to 5) -- cut 1/3" slices
1 package frozen peas (replaced with 1 lge gr bell pepper
chopped)

Brown/sear beef pieces in oil; remove to heated dish, drain off grease.
Flour pieces little by little until slightly pasty. Mash garlic with salt
and add to beef with other seasonings. Add wine and allow stew to heat 5
minutes. Add beef broth to barely cover. (Sometimes I stop here and let
the beef marinate in the wine and broth overnight, then finish, per the
recipe, the next day. This will increase the wine flavor, but reduce the
thickness. To thicken, add cornstarch after baking the vegetables.)

Simmer, cover, and place in 300 degree oven and cook 1 to 1 1/2 hours until
beef is close to tender. Add water to bring to original level. Add
vegetables, cover, and return to oven to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour
until vegetables are tender.

This recipe yields ?? servings.

Based on the amount of meat used, I would think it would easily feed 6-8
people. IMO opinion, the recipe omits one of the most crucial steps in making
an exceptional stew. Once the meat part is done it should be allowed to cool
and then put into the fridge overnight. Then you heat it up again and add the
veggies. Stew always tastes better after it sits for a day.

It needed potatoes....Found out too late...so I thickened it with instant
mashed potatoes, worked great.

FWIW, I usually put two types of potatoes in beef stew. Waxy red potatoes
cut in bite-size chunks for spooning up and eating, and a large baking
potato cut rather small so that it will break down and thicken.

Well the Salt I'll give you, but the potatoes were my Idea. And he still
doesn't have a top to his head!!!

I'll give you noogies on the top of your head if you don't stop saying that!
(laughing) I suggested canned taters, you suddenly said oh wait! Then ran
off and added potato flakes. Nitwit. <G> That was after I'd suggested the
salt.

Love you, dear
