Beef Stew Recipes
Fast & Easy Dinner: Hurry-Up Beef-Vegetable Stew
Beef stew is not your average quick cooking meal. Most recipes take a couple hours, or even an entire day to fully develop a robust stew flavor. However, I've found a recipe for a super simple beef stew that comes together in under an hour.
Weekend Well-Being: Mediterranean Beef Stew
I know that Super Bowl Sunday is usually a day for chili, but think about switching it up with an equally filling and tasty beef stew — winter is the time for hearty beef stew, and weekends are the best time to make a slow cooking stew. Not only does stew make your house smell great, but it's a crowd pleaser and you can freeze the leftovers.
This beef stew is tasty and when shopping for stew meat always go for a cut that is low in fat and not labeled prime.
Sunday Dinner: Sirloin Stew With Dill Noodles
Earlier this month, Party and I were enticed by one reader's rendition of beef stroganoff. If you, too, found yourself salivating over her creation, here's another dish that you need to bookmark! Unlike the classic course, which has sour cream and mushrooms, the ground beef in this recipe becomes a stew with the help of a roux, beef broth, and Worcestershire.
Monday's Leftovers: Guinness Stew
Yesterday I provided the recipe for a hearty Guinness Beef Stew and today I'm wondering what to do with the leftovers. I've come up with a bunch of different ideas (hollow out a small loaf of bread and serve it inside a bread bowl, get some large tortillas and create a irish stew wrap, serve it over pasta or rice, heat it back up with a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up and serve it in a sandwich), however what I really want to do is just heat up the stew and eat it again! And, since the flavors have had some time to hang out and meld more, I know the stew is going to take even better today.
Monday's Leftovers: Beef Stew Lasagna
When faced with leftover beef stew or beef bourguignon, you may be tempted to reheat it for dinner and call it a night. You could also layer it between puff pastry, or fill a pie crust with it. Those ideas are great, however they're a bit obvious.
6 Scrumptious Uses For Stout Beer
Planning a boisterous bash for St. Patrick's Day? Chances are, you'll have plenty of Guinness — the famous Irish brew — on hand.
Must-Read: Lobel's Meat Bible
I have a confession to make. Although a good number of you are vegetarians, and even more of you eat less meat now that we're in a recession, I still crave meat on a regular basis — whether it's a lamb chop, slice of jamon Iberico, or charcuterie. So when I received a copy of Lobel's Meat Bible ($40), a new book by revered New York butcher brothers Stanley, Evan, Mark, and David Lobel, I couldn't wait to check it out.
Come Party With Me: Passover — Menu
After the ceremonious reading of the Haggadah, invite your loved ones to join you for a hearty Seder dinner that is both traditional and modern. Start things off with a reinterpretation of the classic gefilte fish: pan-fried matzo-crusted trout. Serve with a crisp green salad.
Sunday Slow Cooker: Polenta With Beef Ragout
I like to think of this meal of warm, creamy polenta with ground beef and vegetables as comfort food on its best behavior. The soothing texture of polenta is everything your body craves in Winter, but, unlike so many other carbo-licious foods, the ground beef and stewed vegetables are actually wholesome and nutritious. When I make it for dinner tonight, I'll be stirring in some sun-dried tomatoes and my favorite Italian pesto.
52 Weeks of Baking: Irish Soda Bread
This weekend we made a Guinness Beef Stew (although why we were making stew on such a gorgeous day is beyond me...) and I figured that a good hearty Irish Soda Bread would be a nice accompaniment. So I dug out the trusty Baking Illustrated and gathered up all my ingredients.
Since the stew took over 8 hours to make, and since I am the world's greatest procrastinator, I kept saying, "Oh I'll make the bread in a little bit."
