Skinny Bitches Vegan Red Wine Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Over medium high heat, bring a large pot of water to boil and add beef, boil for 10 seconds. Drain, and rinse under cold water for 1 minute. Set aside.
• In a small bowl combine next 5 ingredients (onion - star anise). Set aside.
• In another small bowl or cup combine next 5 ingredients (soy sauce - salt). Set aside.
• Over high heat heat hot chili oil in a wok or large skillet.
• Add onion mixture to wok and stir-fry 2 minutes.
• Stir in beef and stir-fry 3 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to large sauce pan or pot, adding 2 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer until beef is tender (1 hour and 40 minutes), stirring occasionally. You may need to add more water.
• Stir in carrots. Cover and simmer until tender (20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
• Remove chilies and star anise - discard.
• Increase heat to high.
• In a small cup dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup water. Stir into stew, stirring for 1 1/2 minutes.
• Transfer to serving dish (over egg noddles or rice, if desired), garnishing with green onions.

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:

• Marinate the meat: In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate in the bowl or a thick sealable plastic bag for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
• When ready to cook, strain off the marinade and reserve for cooking. Drain meat on paper towels and pat until very dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid on the stove and rub the bottom with the smashed, peeled clove of garlic, until coated with the garlic's oils. Discard garlic.
• Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and cook over medium heat until shimmering. Add half the meat and brown gently on both sides while preparing the vegetables. There's no need for a hard crust to form; a little browning is all that's required. When browned, remove meat to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and meat. Return all the browned, drained meat to the pot.
• Meanwhile, cut the celery (if using) and carrots into large chunks. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and dice the potato.
• Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a separate skillet, heat pancetta (if using) and olive oil over low heat. Cook gently until the fat renders. When the pork fat is running, add onions, celery, carrot, onion and minced garlic. (If not using pancetta, simply heat olive oil and add vegetables and garlic.) Cook gently, stirring, until softened and golden, about 10 minutes. Raise the heat, add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant and sizzling. Add the bouquet garni, reserved marinade and potato. Let bubble fiercely for 5 to 10 minutes, until liquid is thickened and syrupy. Add mixture, once cooked, to the pot with the meat.
• Pour in the wine and, if needed, enough broth to just cover the ingredients. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover tightly and bake 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is soft enough to eat with a spoon and the sauce is rich and thick. After 4 hours, if liquid seems thin, uncover pot for the rest of the cooking.
• When done, let cool slightly, uncovered. Remove and discard celery (if using) and bouquet garni. To thicken the stew, use a fork to mash some of the carrots and potatoes into the liquid; or, remove and purée them, then add back in. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper.
• Reheat and serve immediately, or let cool and refrigerate. Serve within 3 days; the flavor will only improve. Garnish each serving with a sprinkling of chopped thyme and parsley.

Steps:

• Cut beef into 2 to 2 1/2 inch pieces; pat with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Combine 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, paprika and pepper in a bowl; toss beef with flour mixture.
• Cook beef in batches, in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring often, 4-6 minutes until brown. Remove beef from Dutch oven. Add red wine, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of Dutch oven. Return beef to Dutch oven; add broth, thyme, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, peel turnip, and cut into 1 inch cubes. Halve mushrooms. Add turnip, mushrooms, and carrots to stew. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until meat is fork tender.
• Whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt until blended; whisk 1/2 cup hot broth into flour mixture until smooth. Whisk flour mixture into stew until smooth. Cook stirring often, 20 minutes or until thickened.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the "beef" and toss to coat.
• Heat the oil in a 4- to 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Add the "beef" mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
• Stir in stock, wine, and carrots. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the potato and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the peas, stirring until the peas are heated through.
