We eat beef stew at least once a week... Please try this, it’s YUMMY!! NOTE: This recipe requires about 2 hours cooking and that you check on it every 10 minutes, so don’t try this on a week night!
Ingredients
- 1kg stewing beef, cut into 2×2cm cubes (i buy ready cut pieces) shopping list
- 3 large onions, cut into large chunks shopping list
- 4 garlic cloves, each one cut in 3 shopping list
- 1 x 2cm piece of ginger, grated shopping list
- 1 glass of your favorite red wine shopping list
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into about 3cm cubes shopping list
- 2 teaspoons salt - add more if needed, taste while cooking shopping list
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 cup celery, cut into 1cm slices shopping list
- 2 cups carrot, cut into 2cm pieces shopping list
- 2 tablespoons flour mixed till smooth in 1 glass of cold water shopping list
- water - to add as needed while cooking shopping list
- OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: shopping list
- 1 cup green beans shopping list
- 2 cups finely sliced cabbage shopping list
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced shopping list
How to make it
- In a large pot fry the meat in a little oil till browned all over, then lower heat
- Add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, ginger and wine, cook for 2 minutes
- Add 2 glasses of water and 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, turn heat to medium-high and let it boil
- Check on it from time to time to make sure it doesn’t go dry and burn
- Keep stirring and adding 2 glasses of water at a time when it starts drying up
- When meat is almost done, add the potatoes and a teaspoon of salt and adjust water so potatoes are immersed
- At this point you can also add any of the optionals listed above (mine usually has green beans)
- Cook till veggies and meat are done, meat must be falling apart, if not, keep cooking! ^_^
- Taste and adjust seasoning and water so there is enough to make a gravy to pour over rice (at least 3 glasses of liquid, it should be dark brown and quite tasty at this point, the onions, garlic, celery and carrot should have almost completely disintegrated to make the gravy)
- To thicken the gravy, mix the flour in cold water till smooth
- Add it to the pot stirring constantly to avoid lumps
- Cook for 5 more minutes to thicken then serve hot over cooked rice
