>> No.13658232

Do you mean making your own broth, or just beef in water?

if i had the option id rather use water than a premade stock

Yes. But of course the water will become broth while cooking, anyway. It will just taste less rich at the end.

Heavily caramelized beef cubes, and water to deglaze the bottom of the pan, is how the brown gravy in beef stew is made...

>> No.13658453

Beer or red wine. Both make for a rich and flavorful base. Add a few spoons of tomato paste for a little extra flavor.

sure. i've used chicken broth in my beef stew. tastes great.

>> No.13658844

>>13658460
What else do you add? I feel like if I use that it'll be like chicken-flavored soup with beef. Tomato sauce/wine?

>> No.13658956

i add sugar and turn up the heat to fake it. And there's nothing you can do about it.

I do this for my beef stroganoff when I forget to buy beef broth and I literally cannot tell the difference.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with regular stew too.

>> No.13659612

>>13658247
Just make a tomato sauce with some red wine, can tomatoes, tomato paste and herbs and shit. Don't forget the Worchester sauce.

>> No.13659624

You will not have a beef stew without beef broth. Never use plain water for soup unless you're retarded. Just make a different type of soup with a different base, like a beef tomato or beef vegetable concoction.

>> No.13659662

you'd have to boil the beef long enough so that all the juices will flush out of it

then start a new pot and put the dry flavorless beef into the water with vegetables and some other kind of broth, probably chicken

>> No.13659758

just use a knorr cube??

I make beef soup from just beef shanks (with bone) and vegetables boiled in water. As a matter of fact I don't even brown the beef. The broth is very good. Not everything has to be intensely flavored.

That said I think using plain water works better for soups than for stews. With stews people usually expect a stronger beefiness.

>> No.13662687

>>13658226
You're essentially making a beef broth while cooking, although adding some homemade chicken stock/store-bought stock with gelatin powder added is nice for adding some flavor and body to the stew.

>consomme powder
How does that work? It would just be cloudy.
