What’s your position on stew? At some point along the way, I got into my mind that I don’t like stew. But this weekend was so snowy and gross I had comfort food on my mind and made stew anyway. Now I can’t wait to make more! This simple recipe far exceeded my expectations! Hearty, belly-warming food on a cold day!
To make 4 generous servings:
🥄 3 lb beef sirloin, cubed into 1/2” pieces
🥄 3 tbsp flour
🥄 1/2 tsp salt
🥄 1 tsp pepper
🥄 2 diced yellow onions
🥄 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
🥄 4 ribs celery, diced
🥄 16 cremini mushrooms washed and quartered
🥄 2-3 c frozen peasSet featured image
🥄 1 lb mini red potatoes, quartered
🥄 3 c beef stock
🥄 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
🥄 1 tsp smoked paprika
Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes, drain and set aside.
Toss the beef in the flour salt and pepper. Spray a heavy stock pot with non-stock cooking spray and cook the beef for about 10 min, or until mostly cooked through. The flour will stick tot he bottom of the pot, but that’s ok.
Add the onions, garlic, celery and 1/2 c beef stock to the pot. Sauté the the veggies and continue to cook the beef. After about 5 minutes (once veggies soften a bit), add all the remaining ingredients, including the potatoes. Stir through, making sure to scrape any browned bits of flour off of the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes.
Enjoy!!! 😋
