Beef Stew
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup neutral oil
* 2.5 lbs beef chuck(cut into chunks)
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 2 carrots(cut into chunks)
* 1 onion(chopped)
* 2 cups button mushrooms(cut into quarters)
* 6 tbsp butter
* 2 tbsp tomato paste
* 1/3 cup flour
* 1 can stout beer
* 1 liter beef stock
* 2 bay leaves
* 2 sprigs thyme
* 2 sprigs rosemary
* 2 star anise
* 1 tbsp Worcestershire
* 1 tbsp soy sauce
* 1 tbsp beef bouillon paste
* 2 packets gelatin powder
* 2 stocks celery
* 2 cups baby golden potatoes
* 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
1. Prep carrots, onions, garlic, mushrooms and slice beef chuck into bite-sized pieces.
2. Generously season beef chuck with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pot on medium high heat and sear beef in batches. Once browned on all sides remove the beef and do the next batch.
3. On medium heat, saute onions and mushroom in the same pot with butter for a few minutes then add garlic.
4. Once fragrant, cook tomato paste for a few minutes and add flour. Cook for a few minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste then pour in stout beer.
5. Once combined, add the beef and give it a stir. Top it with beef stock and add bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, star anise, worcestershire, soy sauce, beef bouillon paste, gelatin powder, and celery.
6. Bring to a simmer and leave it in a 300F oven for 1.5 hours with the pot lid slightly open. Give it a mix every 45 minutes and scrape any browned bits stuck on the side.
7. Remove the herbs, spices, and celery and skim off a majority of the fat. Add carrots and baby potatoes and put it back in the oven for one more hour.
8. Finish with frozen peas and season to taste with salt if necessary.
9. Once the peas are warmed through, serve with bread and enjoy.

"Classic" beef stew my ass lol.
Love from India 🇮🇳
You make such small amounts what does what's the point if you're going to make beef stew you have to start with about 4 lb of beef 10 lb of potatoes
Why skim off some fat? As if it would help you gain a lot less cholesterol!
Love the tiny potatoes!
I tried to make it the other day, but when I was cleaning the pot and tried to put the boiling water in the sink, it spilled on the most sensitive area of my body. I'm probably not going to make that anytime soon.
Beef in Guinness is an American classic ….. about as much as beef bourguignon is.

"Welcome to low and slow" "the fučķ did you call me"
Throw it all in a crockpot(meat/onion/ mushroom seared first.) Deglaze with beer. Pour all ingredients except peas in crock pot. Set at low for 8 hrs. 30 mins before end of cook, add peas. Time saver.
That looks so good 😮
Now where my steamed rice at 😂😂😂
Can i do this in a crockpot?
Very nice….well done!!
British people who invented beef stew: He's not a decent bloke.
