Sherrys Autumn Harvest Stew In Slow Cooker Food

RUSTIC CROCK POT BEEF STEW - CASSIES WAY ~

Steps:

• 1. I made this in my 7 quart crock pot...I think it would fit a 5 - 6 quart as well. In a dutch oven - add enough oil to cover bottom of pan. Turn heat to medium. Add the flour to a plastic zip lock bag, along with season salt. Add beef to bag, making sure not to over crowd, so to get an even covering of flour. Place on a plate as you flour.
• 2. Place enough beef in bottom of dutch oven and brown on all sides - do not over crowd. As they brown, add them to the bottom of your crock pot. Keep browning until all meat is used. Salt and pepper your beef of desired.
• 3. Now, place onions and garlic in the same pan as you browned the beef in. Do not remove any of the browned bits - they will add flavor. Add a little more oil if needed and I also added the scraps of beef I cut from the cubes, it adds more flavor. Once onion is removed from pan, discard scraps. Brown the onions for just a few minutes - just until they begin to color.
• 4. Place the onions and garlic on top of the brown beef. Add the broth, Sherry, Worschestershire sauce, gravy master browning sauce and bouillon. Scrape any remaining browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring broth mixture to a boil and then set aside.
• 5. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and bay leaves atop the onions. Pour the broth over everything. Place lid on pot and turn to high. I cooked mine on high for 3 hours, then turned to low for 2 hours. I added the corn in the 4th hour of cooking.
• 6. Once meat and veggies are tender - if broth is not as thick as you like after stirring. I placed 1 tablespoon of corn starch in a small bowl with 1 tsp gravy master and a tablespoon of water. Mixed and stirred into the stew. Place lid back on and turn to high. Your crock pot may not cook as fast as mine, but mine thickened very quickly. I don't like a real thick gravy - so add as much thickener as you desire.
• 7. Taste and add additional seasoning if you desire...I didn't add anything, it was perfect to us. Ladle into bowls and enjoy with your favorite bread or muffins. I served mine with my Dill Gouda Buttermilk Muffins...was absolutely delicious dipped in those yummy juices.

SLOW-COOKER SUNDAY STEW

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside. Pour off any excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
• Put the flour and some salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag and add the beef. Toss to coat the beef thoroughly. Heat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the skillet in 2 batches and brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Set aside.
• Put the onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the beef, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, garlic and jalapeno. Season with a big pinch of salt and some black pepper. Cut the bacon into large pieces and sprinkle them over the top.
• Pour the beer into a pitcher, whisk in the tomato paste and Worcestershire and then pour it over the vegetables. Add enough beef broth to just cover the meat and top with the parsley and rosemary sprigs. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
• Serve with Buttery Lemon Parsley Noodles and garnish with about 1 teaspoon of parsley per portion.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (If using angel hair, stop just short of the al dente stage.) Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Add the parsley, garlic and lemon zest and stir. Throw in the drained pasta and cook, tossing and coating it in the mixture, so that a few of the pieces get a little bit of a pan-fried texture to them, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and some salt and pepper and toss again.
