stew

henapple

Was going to tweak my chili recipe to make a stew but it might be too much tomatoes. I'm looking for a stew with a lot of vegetables. Probably not the Guiness stew. Cooking time doesn't matter. I've cruised through net and can't find what I'm looking for. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Stew, Beef, Mushroom & Red Wine, Vidalia1

Delicious hearty beef stew. Any vegetables can be added or deleted but mushrooms and Red wine are a must.

INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs Beef Stew Meat or(Sirloin cut into cubes)
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp Season salt
1/2 tsp Tony Cachere’s cajun seasoning
2 Tbs Flour
4 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs Olive Oil
2 whole Onions, Minced
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
3 med carrots (peeled & diced)
1 sweet potato (peeled, cubed and par boiled for 20 minutes until tender)
8 ounces, White Button Mushrooms (sliced)
1 cup Red Wine
1 can Beef Consommé
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Noodles or rice- Cooked And Drained
2 Tbs Flour

PROCEDURE:

1. Sprinkle flour, garlic salt, black pepper, Cajun seasoning and season salt in Ziploc bag and mix thoroughly. Using stew meat or sliced & cubed sirloin place meat in bag and shake to get flour mixture distributed on meat. Let sit in fridge for up to 1 hour to set up.

2. Set BGE up indirect with platesetter. Get temp to 350-375. Place 5-7 qt CI DO in BGE for 5-10 minutes to get hot. Put oil & butter in DO. Sear meat over high heat in batches; remove to a plate when brown. You can also cook this direct with a CI DO just be careful when opening the BGE and watch temps carefully.

3. Add onions and garlic to pan (without cleaning); sauté for 2 -4 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add browned beef back to pan and then add wine and consommé . Let this cook in BGE at 300-325 with the lid off for approx 30 minutes. Stir about every 10 minutes.

4. Add carrots and cook for another 20 minutes. More liquid (water) may have to be added. Once carrots are tender add remaining vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir.

5. Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes at 300 degrees. After that time, mix 2 tablespoons flour with a little water and pour into the stew and stir. Allow to cook and thicken for ten more minutes. Shut down BGE and allow stew to sit for 10 to 20 minutes before serving.

6. Serve by itself or over cooked noodles or rice. Serve with warmed French bread. Adapted from The Pioneer Woman website 11-30-09.

Beef 'n Barley might work. Usual mirepoix veggies plus some turnips, parsnips and fennel. If not dark beer, then wine and stock. Finish it with some frozen peas for the last five minutes. Great for this weather with some horseradish mashed taters.

You just made stew last time, silly.

I just made a sweet-ass beef stew with some "stew beef" I needed to get rid of. I also grabbed some beef hock so I could get some marrow into the stew for mouth feel.

Cooked down some bacon, deglazed the pot with onions, strained the fat from the onions and browned the beef after seasoning with S&P plus some flour.

Then I sweated celery and onions, added garlic until fragrant, and then added tomato paste and a pinch of salt.

After 1-2 minutes, I deglazed with red wine then added chicken stock and some demi glace plus around 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce.

Added some thyme sprigs and a bay leaf then brought it to a simmer. Cook with lid on at 300 for 90 minutes and add cut-up carrots and potatoes(keeps them from overcooking) and cook until done - about another 45 minutes. Meat should break apart with a knife. Add in a bag of frozen peas. They will heat through quickly without breaking down.

Finish off with a few splashes of wine to brighten the flavor. Final seasoning to taste.

In your case, maybe just do the bacon for fond and add in the brisket towards the end. It will add smokiness to the stew.

Nom nom.

We've done a non-traditional stew a few times this winter already. No red wine, no tomatoes (whole or paste), no potatoes but with sherry, cream and mushrooms. I'm not a fan of stew and this is the only one I've ever liked. I guess it could be done on the Egg, but last time we were in the middle of the Ice-pocalypse and Mrs. G was doing the cooking and didn't want to go outside. Who am I to argue when told to go lay on the couch and watch tv?

In 20 years I don't think my wife has ever told me that.

Here is what I do, normally make with Venison but could substitue

http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=1289641&catid=1

Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds Venison cut into chunks. (Chuck Roast)
Flour - dredging meat
3 Garlic Cloves (sliced)
3 TBSP Olive Oil
1 Bottle Burgundy Wine
24 Shallots (Pelled & Whole)
6 Carrots (Peeled & Cut into 2" Pieces)
6 Youkon Potatos (Peeled & Chunked)
1 pkg Knorrs Tomato Beef Goulash Soup Mix
2 TSP Herbs de Provence
2 Cans Beef Broth
1# Sliced Mushrooms

Trim and prepare meat, sprinkle with seasoning ( I used Montreal steak) or S&P and dredge in flour. Egg stepup was 400 indirect with Dutch oven on middle rack of A/R. Make sure you allow plenty of time for DO to come up to temp. Put olive oil in DO, brown garlic in oil, remove and discard. Sear meat in batches and set aside. Add some of the wine to deglaze the pan. Pour in the remaining wine and add soup mix. Add carrots, potatoes, shallots, herbs, beef broth and meat. Cook for 2 Hours and add mushrooms, then cook another hour. May need to add a little more liquid depending on how thick you like stew. I like mine thick and I added about another cup of broth.

This is a simple recipe that I grew up eating.  It always fits the bill during the winter. 

1 pound lean beef - I use a chuck roast not stew meat
but you can use stew meat
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 cups cold water
2 cups canned tomatoes, roughly chopped, include juice
2 onions, diced
2 carrots, chopped
3 potatoes, cubed
3 stalks celery, chopped

Brown meat in just a little vegtable oil in large
dutch oven or soup pot
Add water and cover
Turn to low and cook for 3 hours
Add tomatoes and vegtables.
Season with salt and pepper
Cook on high until steaming then turn to low heat or
simmer and cook 45 minutes until vegtables are tender.

Except for the bacon lardons, potatoes and the dry soup you are really close to Boeuf Bourguignon a La Julia Child

The original recipe uses oxtail soup but I cannot find that so we use goulash instead. It's originally from my grandad who grew up probably watching Julie so it's entirely possible!

Hers is the bomb! Well worth trying on the egg.

Ended up cooking the stew tonight. Settled on this recipe. Added a little more water and wine , mushrooms and okra...A little flour at the end to thicken up the stew. It was really good.

Get a roast size Is irrelevant, grab some onions, carrots, shrooms, kale, garlic,brown the meat with some flour seasoned with pepper cayenne salt lots what ever herbs you like I liike rosemary and summer savoury, you can use what ever. Brown the meat then the veg top off with stock (beef or chicken I usually add some beer or wine too, but I'm a lush!) cook for hours or unit the meat is like butter then throw corn and peas and what ever else you want make dumplings and eat
