Comfy Beef Stew With A Brew

NadineM 7 years ago

I did enjoy this recipe but found that I had a taste issue. After I simmered for several hours that when I tasted it there was a fresh taste and not a stew taste so I added beef bullion to the stew. It did help but I think next time I will try beef broth rather than water.

Beef broth should help the flavor issue you had with this, Nadine. Actually, I'd use it for all of the liquid called for and reduce the amount. That's an awful lot of liquid - 3 C. water plus the beer or beef broth (or both, as suggested by the recipe submitter). That would be over 5 C. liquid and more like beef soup than stew. Did you find it that way?

I understand what you mean about the taste Nadine. I always use broth in place of water in stew recipes. I bet it will taste even better today though!

Yes Bakerme now that I think about it I do agree. Had not thought about it at the time.

Ml2c it is actually I am planning for to reheat this on Thursday night. And you are correct all stews etc to taste better the second time around.

I agree, leftover stew always tastes better the next day - yum!

Looks like a hearty stew from the submitter's photo. I also prefer broth over water. I was going to suggest that maybe it needed a dark beer, but I see you used that. Glad you could tweak it and make it taste somewhat better.

I agree with the others, beef broth instead of water and that's a lot of water. Her photo looks great though.I bet that it was better today.
