Grannys Five Hour Beef Stew Food

GRANNY'S BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Put about two cups of flour on a plate, or layer of foil, and season well with salt, pepper and garlic. Heat about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet. Flour meat in small batches and brown in hot oil. Transfer meat to soup pot, and continue until all meat is browned.
• Add onion, 2 cans of broth, about a cup of red wine, tomato sauce, and bay leaf to soup pot, bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer at least one hour. Remove bay leaf. Taste the broth of the stew at this point and decide if it needs a little salt or pepper. Also decide if there is enough broth, and at this point you can add more wine or beef broth.
• Peel carrots and slice into disks about ¼ inch thick (or you can use the little baby carrots - then you won't have to slice them etc). Add to pot, let cook about a half hour.
• Peel potatoes and cut into pieces about the same size as the stew meat chunks. Add to pot, let cook until potatoes are tender.
• Now you need to thicken the broth just a bit. Easiest way is to take about two tablespoons of flour, in a small bowl, and add about a tablespoon of oil. This will make a paste - add enough of the broth from the stew to this mixture to thin it out, to make it almost pourable. Add this mixture to the stew, stirring constantly as you pour it in (or it will lump up). When it's mixed in well, put the cover back on and let it cook about 10 more minutes.

EASY STOVETOP BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Place cubed stew meat into a large bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 to 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until all the beef is covered.
• Allow meat and cornstarch mix to sit on the counter for an hour.
• Heat your heavy bottomed pot on the stove over medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of light or extra virgin olive oil to the pot.
• Once oil is warm, add the beef cubes to the pot. Cook until they start to brown, then flip. Brown on each side.
• Remove the browned meat from the pot and set aside on a plate until you are ready to add it back to the stew.
• Add the chopped onions to the beef drippings in the pot. Stir them over medium low heat for about five minutes until they are soft.
• Add the chopped garlic to the pot and stir for one minute.
• Add the meat back to the pot. Add about 2 cups of the beef broth to the pot so that the meat is covered.
• Bring the meat mixture to a low simmer, cover, and cook for an hour.
• At the hour point, peel your potato and carrots. Chop them into uniform size pieces.
• Add the potatoes to the meat mixture. Add more broth if necessary, so that the potatoes and meat are covered. Bring back to a simmer.
• In a small saucepan, add the carrots and about ½ cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about half an hour or until the carrots are cooked through.
• Check to see if potatoes are cooked through. When they are, add the cooked carrots to the beef stew. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
