Sailors Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Place meat into a bag with the flour ,salt & pepper and shake to coat.
• Put the olive oil into a med-high fry pan and when hot sear the meat on all sides.
• Place the meat into a 2 - 3 quart baking dish (or a Dutch Oven) and place the garlic on top of the meat. Now place all the prepared vegetables all around the meat with the onions being on top. Pour on the beer.
• Cover and place into a 350 oven for 3-4 hours.
• Allow to stand 10 minutes then eat. Yield is 6 servings.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss all the ingredients except the beer into a large ovenproof casserole.
• 2. Pour the beer over the stew, cover, and cook until the meat is very tender, the potatoes are breaking apart, and the beer is absorbed, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place meat in a plastic bag with the flour. Toss to coat evenly.
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove beef cubes from the bag, and shake off excess flour. Brown beef cubes on all sides, and remove to paper towels to drain.
• Place potatoes on the bottom of a 3 quart casserole dish or Dutch oven. Place the beef cubes over the potatoes, then cover with onions, carrots and mushrooms. Pour in the beer, beef broth, and soy sauce. Toss in the peppercorns.
• Bake uncovered for 2 hours in the preheated oven, or until meat is very 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.

• Brown meat and cook onions in the butter, stirring occasionally.
• Add stock, beer, bay leaves, salt and pepper.
• Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add potatoes and continue to simmer for 2 hours.
• Mash any remaining pieces of potato, so that you have a thick'gravy' with just a few pieces of potato.
