Stupid Stew. In the style of Dixie.
SGH
Posts: 28,988
Here is a stew that is so simple that it's appropriately named stupid stew. It's actually delicious and works equally well in a pressure cooker, slow cooker (aka: crockpot), or Dutch oven/pot.
Ingredients.
White onions. A pile of them. If using a pressure cooker, you almost can't use to many.
1 pound of stew meat (mystery meat).
2 pounds of cheap beef rib strip meat.
2 shots of Jack Daniels whiskey.
1 pound of baby carrots.
2 pounds of baby potatoes.
1 pound of mushrooms. Sliced works best.
3 stalks of diced celery.
1 quart of beef broth.
Garlic salt to taste.
Salt to taste.
Black & White pepper to taste.
Cornstarch (for thickening) if desired.
The above is excellent as is. However you can add or take away anything that you like.
Directions.
Cut the rib meat into small chunks. Brown both the stew meat and the rib meat along with a few onions together.
Once browned, throw everything (except the cornstarch) into a pot or whatever you want to cook it in.
Cook until tender. Pretty simple and straightforward. Once everything is cooked, you can stir in cornstarch to thicken it up if you wish. The more you add, the thicker it will get.
Tips:
The beef rib strip meat really adds a ton of flavor. Use it.
If pressure cooking, give the meat a 10 minute head start before adding the vegetables or the vegetables will be over cooked and mushy. This is for a 12 PSI setting. If cooking at 15 PSI, give the meat a 8 minute head start.

Hope that enjoy this Dixie style stew my friends.

That looks fine to me friend.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

You had me at Jack Daniels, lol. Looking good.

Jack Daniels?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
No Kentucky Vintage available? Or is this just kept in the fridge between soy sauce and the Tabasco, an easy reach?
Either way, trying it when I get back from Guitar Town.

That "char wood" taste that JD's has really adds a nice addition to stews and meats in general. Give it a try brother and see what you think.YukonRon said:Jack Daniels?

Hey Scottie, what was the injector used for? I see it in the first couple of pictures...Johns Creek, GA - LBGE and a some stuff
-
The injector was used the week of Christmas and New Year's Day for some deep fried turkeys. I used it today on a couple of small flats that I'm experimenting with. Trying to come with a foolproof way for novices and beginners to cook a perfect select or choice grade flat every time. I have been toying around with the small flats on and off for a while now. I think I have just about nailed it my friend. If all goes accordingly, I will be posting the flat procedure real soon.tfhanson said:Hey Scottie, what was the injector used for?

Thanks for sharing.
I will have to double the JD portion for the cook. -
It will not hurt a thing my friend. You can even triple it and get great results. Just something to note, if you use a pressure cooker, be hesitant to double it or you may end up with stew that tastes like JD. The PC really pushes spices/flavors into whatever you are cooking. In a slow cooker or pot you can get away with it. Just thought I would share.Tinyfish said:I will have to double the JD portion for the cook.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Thanks man. We have only had two cold days so far this year. Yesterday and today. The stew sure hit the spot. In a day or two, it will be right back up in the 80's. It will be time to grill againTbent said:Looks stupid good. My kind of food on a cold day.
