40 Mile Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add more oil as needed between batches.
• Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
• Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place beef cubes into a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add flour and paprika and toss until evenly coated.
• Heat oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until dark brown, about 4 minutes per side. Flip or stir gently with a wooden spoon until all edges are dark brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove beef and set aside.
• Add onions to the beef fat with more salt and pepper; cook and stir until they begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir until aromatic and soft, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it turns brown and begins to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up the flavorful browned bits on the bottom. Let the wine reduce until almost dry again, about 3 minutes.
• Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, herbes de Provence, and bay leaves. Add 2 cups beef broth and Worcestershire, stir, and bring to a boil. Add the seared beef cubes back into the stew liquid. Remove from heat and cover the pot.
• Braise in the preheated oven until meat is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Add carrots, potatoes, and more beef broth if needed. Cover and return to the oven to braise until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Using your camp stove or 15-18 briquets, brown the meat cubes in a 12" Dutch Oven. Just as the meat finishes browning, throw the mushrooms in. Remove from heat and make sure none of the meat cubes have stuck to the bottom. Layer the potatoes slices over the meat and season to taste with salt, pepper, or your favorite camp seasoning. (Kent would add a dash of steak sauce for more flavor.) In whatever order you like, layer the tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Place the sausage patties over top of the last veggie. Bake slowly with 6-8 briquets underneath and 15-18 on top. Add fresh charcoal after an hour and cook for another 30-40 minutes. With only the moisture that cooks out of the vegetables for liquid, this ends up being more like a casserole than what we typically think of as a stew. Ten minutes before you're ready to serve, remove the charcoal from the lid, place the cheese slices over the sausage patties and replace the lid. The cheese slices will melt in about 5 minutes. Make sure when you serve that you get part of each layer.Spiced with More Tall Tales - Soups, Stews and Chili
