ULTIMATE BEEF STEW
Ina Garten couldn't possibly have known when she started working on her latest cookbook how much we'd all need comfort food right now. She came up with the concept for Modern Comfort Food more than two years ago, figuring the book would arrive just before the presidential election and that we might be a bit stressed. "Little did I know that 2020 would bring so much more," she says. "Right now I think we just want really simple comforting foods that make us feel good." In many ways, the book seems meant to be. "It was the easiest one I've ever written. I tend to gravitate toward comfort food anyway, and I found that the book just flowed in a way I don't ever remember." Many of the recipes are the culmination of years of experimentation and taste memories. This beef stew was inspired by the takeout stews Ina and Jeffrey ate in their tent when they camped outside Paris in the spring and summer of 1971. "Over the years I learned a lot about what makes beef stew really delicious," she says. "A nice red wine, short ribs instead of chuck. It's a classic recipe, just done in a more modern way."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300˚ F.
- Heat the oil in a large (11- to 12-inch) Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside.
- Meanwhile, season the short ribs all over with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Brown half the meat in the Dutch oven over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned on all sides. Transfer the meat to a bowl and brown the second batch. (Don't cook them all in one batch or they won't brown!) Transfer the second batch to the bowl and set aside.
- Off the heat, add the Cognac and 1/3 cup of the wine to the pot, scraping up any browned bits, then simmer over medium heat for one minute. Add the onions and fennel and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
- Stir the tomatoes and tomato paste into the vegetables. Add the remaining 2/3 cup of wine, the beef broth, the seared meat (and juices), 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and bake for 1 1/4 hours, checking occasionally to be sure the liquid is simmering.
- Degrease the stew, if necessary. Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cover and bake for one hour longer, until the vegetables and meat are very tender when tested with a fork. Just before serving, stir in the peas and pancetta, taste for seasonings and serve hot in large, shallow bowls.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Chef's Tip: The most important ingredient in this recipe is the correct cut of beef. The wrong cut of beef can become dry and stringy, which no sauce will ever be able to rescue. If you use beef chuck roast, you will have a juicy, tender and flavorful roast. Every time.
- 4. Take the smashed garlic, /rosemary and thyme, and tie together in a piece of cheesecloth with a piece of cooking twine.
- 5. Chef's Note: Tying the spices together is called a bouquet garni. By bundling them together it helps to remove them from the stew before consumption.
- 6. Add the oil to a Dutch oven, and bring the heat up to medium-high.
- 7. Season the roast with salt and pepper.
- 8. Add the roast to the Dutch oven and sear, about 4 minutes per side.
- 9. Chef's Note: Searing a roast does NOT lock in the juices (not sure how that rumor got started); however, it will add flavor to the finished product.
- 10. Remove the roast, and reserve.
- 11. Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 300f (150c)
- 12. Reduce the heat on the Dutch oven to medium low, and layer the onions, potatoes and carrots, in that order.
- 13. Chef's Tip: Try to cut the carrots and potatoes to the same thickness. That way they will all cook evenly.
- 14. Return the roast to the Dutch oven.
- 15. Add the cumin, paprika, cayenne, flour, and wine to the hot broth, and whisk to combine.
- 16. Add the liquid to the Dutch oven, along with the bouquet garni.
- 17. Add the bacon slices to the top of the roast.
- 18. Allow the liquid to come up to a slight simmer.
- 19. Cover and place in the preheated oven.
- 20. Cook in the oven (without opening) for 2 to 3 hours, or until the roast is fork tender.
- 21. Chef's Tip: If you want your veggies to have a bit more of a bite to them, then do not add them until the last hour of cooking.
- 22. Remove the roast, discard the bacon and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
- 23. Remove the bouquet garni from the liquid and discard.
- 24. PLATE/PRESENT
- 25. Place some veggies and gravy in a deep plate.
- 26. Add a thick slice of beef to the top, and ladle on a bit more gravy.
- 27. Serve with some nice biscuits, to soak up all that yummy gravy. Enjoy.
- 28. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

- Short Rib Stew. When Ethan Stowell was growing up, his father was the family cook; beef stew was one of his specialties. Unlike his dad, who favored rump roast, Stowell uses short ribs, a marbled cut that turns fabulously succulent and tender when slow-simmered.
- Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce. For many Americans, the quintessential French stew is boeuf bourguignon — beef cooked in Burgundy red wine. The stew, featured regularly at Jacques Pépin's mother's restaurant, was made from tougher, cheaper cuts of beef, which had to be braised a long time to get tender and to stay moist.
- Beef Stew with Port and Porcini. Gail Hobbs-Page, who also consults on the raising of the grass-fed livestock at Dave Matthews's Best of What's Around farm, developed this beef stew recipe with chuck in mind, marinating it overnight to tenderize it, simmering it slowly, then adding port, red wine, and porcini mushrooms to create a rich, deeply flavored sauce.
- Classic Pot-au-Feu. For this dish, David Duband braises two cuts of beef — shank and rump roast — with marrow bones and then separately cooks leeks and carrots with more marrow bones until everything is deeply flavorful and tender.
- Slow Cooker Beef Stew with Napa Cabbage and Pickles. Napa cabbage and thinly sliced sour pickles add texture and tang to this hearty stew. Searing the pieces of beef chuck before putting them in the slow cooker gives the stew a rich flavor.
- Smoky Beef and Leek Stew. In Rioja, cooks add leeks to their hearty beef stews for a hit of sweetness and acidity, plus pimentón (smoked Spanish paprika) and peppercorns for a layer of spice.
- Beef Stew. This beef stew gives you everything you want in comfort food: It's hearty and satisfying, but what makes it stand out is its subtle, sophisticated use of coriander and fenugreek seeds.
- Beef Stew with Red Currant Jelly and Cream. In classic French cuisine, when the sauce for wine-braised boar or venison is flavored with red currant jelly and cream, the dish is called grand veneur.
- Pot Roast Smothered in Bacon and Onions. There seems to be a daunting amount of onions in this Portuguese-inspired dish, but with the bacon they cook down to a wonderful, smoky jam surrounding super tender beef.
- Beef Rib Eye and Vegetable Stew. Chef Galen Zamarra's 25-minute stew combines 2 pounds of boneless beef rib eye chunks with carrots and a Yukon potato in red wine sauce with herbs.
