Winter's coming.

And you know what that means.

BEEF STEW! Big steaming pots of it to warm your belly on those cold cold nights.

How do you do your stew? Thick or thin sauce? A little red wine? Potatoes, carrots, and onions only, or are other vegetables welcome? Other means besides beef? Sausage maybe?

>> No.4834059

Fuck it, I eat it all year round.
Beef, swede, carrot, parsnip, potato and turnips if possible. Suet dumplings too.

I make a thick sauce by putting onion, garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, gravy powder, cornflour into a blender and then adding lentils.

Also add beer if available.

I like a thick sauce with a little red wine. It does have to be beef, but other stuff is welcome. Corn and green beans are a good 10 minutes left to cook addition.

I love beef stew. It's cheap to make and it feeds you for awhile. Plus if you get bored there are a million things you can do with it.
Cook up some cornbread, bake some rolls, serve it over rice

My fave stew:

In a large Dutch oven, combine:

1 kg beef, cubed and browned.
100 g pork belly, cubed and fried
4 onions, diced
4 cloves of garlic, diced
4 celery stalks, sliced
1 winter carrot, sliced
1 Neep, diced
400 g Potatoes, cubed
100g of various mushrooms, cut according to species
6 bay leaves
3 sage leaves
A small bundle of thyme
A small tin of tomato puree
1 pint of brown ale
1 pint of beef stock
A swig of smoky whisky (Lagavulin)
Add enough water to cover solid ingredients.
Salt and pepper to taste
If necesary, add a brown (peanut-butter) roux until desired thickness is reached.

>> No.4838590

Usually: Beef, red and gold potatoes, carrots, celery, kale, sweet potato when my girlfriend complains about how I don't use sweet potato. Diced tomatoes as well, only because I use the juice from the can in the broth. I add whatever wine I haven't finished drinking, typically red. The broth is thin.

I'm not picky about how I make my stew; ingredients are just whatever I have lying around or whatever spices and vegetables family members have given me.

Man, I can't wait for it to get cold enough to justify making a big thing of stew.

I usually make mine with a bunch of chuck roast that I cube up, dredge with flour and herbs and then brown. Dump it all into the crock pot, add some chopped up onions, carrots, celery, parsnips and potatoes and a few cloves of crushed garlic, a couple bay leaves and usually some thyme, oregano, marjoram, rosemary. Then usually some dark beer and beef stock, sometimes a can of crushed tomatoes and some dark red wine and stock, all depends on what I have and what I feel like tossing in there.

Let that sucker cook on low all day and then enjoy stew for like a week.

I use red wine and drink what didn't go into the stew alongside it later. I like to add mushrooms, so I'm gonna try what >>4836262 said.

You mean for cooking the stew? Sure, just use stock. The same kind of stock you're using for the stew. So beef stew uses beef stock. chicken stew uses chicken stock, etc.
