Mamas Oyster Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, salt and pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the milk and half-and-half, and transfer to the top of a double boiler. If you do not have one, set the pan of soup over a pan of simmering water.
• When the milk is hot, add the oysters and heat just until the oysters are opaque. Do not allow to boil. Season with fresh parsley, cayenne pepper and sherry. Go easy on the sherry until you are sure you like it in the stew.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef, ketchup, green seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and some salt and pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large pot over high heat. Add the oil and sugar, and cook until the sugar is caramelized. Add the seasoned beef and cook, stirring vigorously, until browned, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-high and cook undisturbed for another 5 minutes. Slowly add just enough water to cover the beef. Cook for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the meat is tender, about 25 minutes more.
