If any of y’all want to know how to make some super dope beef stew super easily LISTEN UP
Take a couple pounds of beef and cube it. Put that shit in a crock pot.
Add 1 ½ cups water.
Add an onion soup packet.
And a glass of red wine.
Hell yeah
Pour yourself some wine too you deserve it.
Add like half an onion and season with pepper, salt, chipotle pepper, garlic, cinnamon, and cloves. I don’t measure I just dash some in and adjust to taste when I add the root vegetables.
Nice.
Mix that shit up.
Now put on high and ignore for 3 hours.
In 3 hours, add veggies. Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, whatever ya got. Mushrooms are good too. I’ll add some dried morels, crumbled up. Will post again when we get to that point.
Can recommend the above recipe, but with a dark brown ale instead of wine and with pickled walnuts added with the veggies
……man that sounds good too will have to try that sometime.
Ok meat is done through now dump in some baby carrots or chop up some regular carrots and throw in some taters. I use red because I hate peeling them fuck that. Also crumbled up a half dozen dried morel mushrooms and threw in some flour to thicken things up. Added some fresh thyme because why the hell not.
nice.
Now ignore for another hour.
As for the cut of meat; doesn’t matter get what’s cheap. Anything gets tender if you stew it in a crock pot for six hours. Spices can be tinkered with as you see fit. Add other veggies as you see fit. Nothing is set in stone do what you want, man. Sub beer for the wine, throw in pork, ‘s all good. Pour yourself some more wine or beer and play Skyrim for awhile.
Note that the finished stew can be frozen in single portions and thawed in the microwave later, and will feed either a family for a night or you for a week if you live alone.
By the way, would dumplings be addable to this?
I’m addicted to having dumplings in my stews/soups…
DO IT
Hey @systlin is there anything you’d recommend as a substitute for wine/beer to someone who can’t legally buy alcohol?
