Old Fashioned Vegetable Beef Stew Food

OLD-FASHIONED BEEF STEW WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pot in batches and cook, turning and adding more oil as needed, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Add 2 more tablespoons oil to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Add the roughly chopped carrot, celery and onion and cook, occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Move the vegetables to one side and add the tomato paste to the empty side. Cook until it darkens around the edge, about 2 minutes; stir into the vegetables. Add the wine and bring to a boil.
• Return the beef and any juices to the pot; add the stock. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam off the top. Add the thyme. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
• Strain the beef and vegetables in a colander set over a large bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Tent the beef mixture with foil. Let the cooking liquid stand for 5 minutes and then skim off the fat on the surface. Return the liquid to the pot. Add the remaining carrots and celery and the potatoes and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and brown, 10 minutes. (Pour off any extra liquid, if necessary.) Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, then let it bubble (do not brown), 2 minutes. Whisk in 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid. Stir this sauce into the pot with the vegetables; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, 5 minutes.
• Return the beef to the pot, discarding the roughly chopped carrot, celery, onion and thyme. Add the mushrooms and simmer until heated through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.

VEGETABLE AND BARLEY STEW

Steps:

• You need a casserole dish with a lid that will go from stove top to oven.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C or 170°C for a fan oven).
• Heat the oil in the casserole dish over medium heat on the stove top.
• Sauté the leeks for two or three minutes, getting them well coated in the oil.
• Tumble in the carrots and parsnips and cook for moment or two.
• Stir in the mushrooms.
• Rinse and sort the pearl barley.
• Add the pearl barley to the vegetables and stir well to coat it in the oil.
• Stir in 3½ cups of the stock along with the basil, pepper and nutmeg.
• Cover the casserole and put it in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and stir the stew, adding a bit more stock if the barley has absorbed it all.
• Return the casserole to the oven for another 20 - 30 minutes.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and stir again, checking to see if the barley and vegetables are tender.
• You can add a bit more stock to loosen the stew if desired, but you want it to be quite hearty.
• Carefully taste for seasoning (it will be very hot) and adding salt and pepper if necessary.
• Serve in warmed bowls.

• Now add the beer, the stock, the Worcester sauce and the tomato puree and stir though.
• Stir in the mushrooms, if using.
• Tip in the vegetables and stir gently.
• Stir through the pepper and add the bay leaf before covering with the lid.
• Put the casserole in the oven for an hour and a half, stirring every half hour. You may need to add more stock as the barley absorbs the liquid. The amount of liquid you need will be affected by what kind of vegetables you use and the amount of them that there are.
• Keep the heat nice and low, you want to cook low and slow.
• Remove the casserole from the oven, and take out the bay leaf.
