Argentinean Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a large skillet until crisp.
• Remove bacon to a paper towel line plate to drain; crumble bacon and chill until serving time.
• Brown beef (half at at time) in the hot bacon drippings; drain off the fat.
• In a 6-quart slow cooker, add in the carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, squash or pumpkin, sweet pepper, dried thyme (if using), and garlic.
• Add in the meat and pour the broth over all.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours.
• Turn to HIGH; stir in cabbage and fresh thyme (if using).
• Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage is just tender.

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:

• Stir together all ingredients for beef with 1 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Marinate, covered and chilled, 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir together all chimichurri ingredients with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and let stand at least 2 hours.
• Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see grilling procedure. Remove beef from marinade and rub off excess (discard marinade).
• Skewer beef, leaving about 1/2 inch between pieces. Oil grill rack, then grill (covered if using a gas grill), turning occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Serve beef with chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• Add the stewed tomatoes, beef broth, potatoes, sugar, squash, raisins, and apricots, and lower heat to a simmer.
• Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Taste for seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Add more beef broth if stew seems too thick.
