BEEF & STOUT STEW WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in large lidded casserole dish, brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Add the onion and carrots to the dish, give them a good browning, then scatter over the flour and stir. Tip the meat and any juices back into the dish and give it all a good stir. Pour over the Guinness and crumble in the stock cube. Season the stew with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Tuck in the herbs and bring everything to a simmer.
• Cover with a lid and place in the oven for about 2½ hrs until the meat is really tender. The stew can now be chilled and frozen for up to 3 months - defrost completely before reheating until piping hot. Leave the stew to settle a little, then serve with Creamy parsnip mash for a true celebration of winter vegetables.

BEEF WITH RED WINE & CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Put the beef in a bowl, sprinkle with the flour and seasoning, then mix until well coated. Fry in batches, adding more oil if necessary, until everything is well browned. Transfer to a casserole dish.
• Add another tbsp oil to the pan and stir in the onion and carrots. Cover and gently cook for 10-12 mins until softened, then remove the lid and cook until just beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the wine and stir well, letting it boil up for 1 min, then pour the whole mixture over the meat. Add the stock, bay leaves and thyme, bring to a simmer, then cover and gently simmer for 2½ hrs until the meat is very tender. If the sauce looks a bit thin, remove the lid and continue to cook until it thickens. Eat half now; chill or freeze the rest for later (see 'Goes well with' for ideas on using the rest of the stew).

BEEF STEW WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Braise beef:
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Pat beef dry and season with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat oil in pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown meat, without crowding, in 3 batches, turning, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 12 minutes.
• Push vegetables to one side of pot. Add tomato paste to cleared area and cook paste, stirring, 2 minutes, then stir into vegetables.
• Add vinegar and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
• Stir in wine, bay leaves, and thyme and boil until wine is reduced by about two thirds, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add broth to pot along with water, beef, and any juices from platter and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in oven until meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Set a large colander in a large bowl. Pour stew into colander. Return pieces of meat to pot, then discard remaining solids. Let cooking liquid stand 10 minutes.
• Cook potatoes and carrots:
• While beef braises, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Slice carrots diagonally (1-inch).
• Add potatoes and carrots to stew (make sure they are submerged) and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 40 minutes.

BEEFY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wash and cut up your potatoes, holding them into a bowl of cold water until ready to cook. We leave the peels on, but if you are just not a fan of potato skin, then feel free to peel them. You can also substitute several other varieties of potato: Dutch yellows, fingerlings, or chef whites are all excellent alternatives -- Russets can be used if you are careful not to overcook them -- red skin potatoes can even be used but they tend to be a bit firm for our taste.
• Combine broth, garlic granules, onion granules, and beef base in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Stir to make sure the beef base is fully dissolved. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly and add them to the broth, stirring to make sure all the potatoes get separated and don't stick together.
• Bring the broth back to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are barely done when poked with the point of a knife (how long this will take depends on the type of potato and how large they have been cut). If cooking Russets and the potatoes are tender, they are overdone and will be difficult to toss in the next step without breaking up.
• Remove the potatoes from the broth with a slotted spoon or spider and place them in a colander to drain thoroughly. (SAVE THE COOKING BROTH! It can be frozen and used again by re-seasoning, or turned into a beef soup, or any number of tasty applications.).
• Toss the potatoes in enough Panini Oil to coat thoroughly and season with salt & pepper.
• Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.
• Serve hot.

• About 20 minutes before serving, add carrots and simmer until ready to serve.
• Right before serving, add cornstarch to water and stir until smooth.
• SLOWLY stir cornstarch mixture into the goulash until reaching desired consistency (you want it to be like a thin gravy consistency). Add beef broth to thin out or more cornstarch to thicken.
• Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or toast.
