Sublime Beef Stew with Red Wine
This is the go-to special-day dish in our house.
A beef stew for special occasions!
When you are simmering the stew or dissolving the roux, do not stir the stew around with a spatula. The meat will fall apart. The vegetables shouldn't be added too early (if you're simmering them in the stew), not only because they will dissolve, but because they'll turn black. So I recommend adding them near the end of the cooking time. For 1 box of stew roux worth. Recipe by Gaserisa

- 1
Leave the beef shanks in large pieces, and brown them in a little oil. Transfer the beef to a pan, and add the red wine.
- 2
Add a little oil to the frying pan where you browned the beef, and sauté the sliced onions (They don't need to be caramelized).
- 3
Add the sautéed onion and the bay leaves to the pan with the beef with wine. Start cooking over high heat, and skim off the scum diligently.
- 4
This is the red wine I used this time. It's a box wine that contains 3 liters.
- 5
When no more scum is rising to the surface, add the mushrooms and turn the heat down to low. Simmer until the beef is tender (2.5 to 3 hours).
- 6
If the liquid in the pan reduces too much, add water. You can add wine of course! Be sure to keep the heat low!
- 7
Cut the vegetables to serve with the stew. (If you're simmering the vegetables in the stew, don't add them at the start or they'll dissolve. Add them 30 minutes before).
- 8
I haven't added the roux yet, but the stew already looks like this just from the red wine.
- 9
The meat sinks to the bottom of the pan, so lift it up carefully and check its doneness with a bamboo skewer! If it's OK, dissolve the roux. (Whatever you do, don't stir the stew up from the bottom! )
- 10
When the roux has dissolved, simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Microwave the vegetables (if you didn't simmer them in the stew) and serve on the side. Drizzle on a little fresh cream to finish.

Wine tip 1: You can use any kind of wine you like. If you're not using box wine, use 1 whole bottle (750 ml) plus water as needed.
- 12
Wine tip 2: The flavor changes depending on the wine you use. That lets you enjoy different versions of the stew and is delicious.
- 13
Wine tip 3: This depends on what you prefer, but I recommend using a light or medium-bodied wine.
- 14
If using a pressure cooker: Add the red wine, bring to a boil, and skim off the scum before closing the lid and pressure-cooking the stew (20 minutes).
- 15
If using a pressure cooker (continued): This stew may exceed the maximum liquid level in some pressure cooker pans.
- 16
If using a pressure cooker (cont.): If that's the case, add the rest of the wine after the pressure cooking phase, and simmer the stew for a while longer.

Restaurant-style Beef Stew with Big Chunks Restaurant-style Beef Stew with Big Chunks
My husband told me that he wanted to eat beef stew with big chunks of meat! So I made this.Beef gristle block is large in size and tough, so it needs to be simmered for two hours. If you don't have time, you can cut it smaller. The meat will be more tender the longer you simmer it. After you add the roux, it will burn if you simmer, so you just have to let all the ingredients meld on low heat. "May Queen" baking potatoes are delicious and will not fall apart during cooking.

It’s funny... I made some chili last week. As I was thinking in my head, “What the hell goes in chili”? I started saying, “Wait, no. This is sounding like a beef stew”. So... I decided to make a beef stew now. It’s cold now and these dishes warm the soul. I never appreciated beef stew when I was younger. But I realize how fine of a dish it is in my older age haha.

I must admit this recipe is really for a beef pie, but the insides where so good, why not just have the insides!! I think it qualifies for stew!! You can cook the first part in a skillet but you do need a Dutch oven to complete it. It is rather fiddly to make but I guarantee you'll be happy with the results. Props to my hubby as well for the photography as usual!!

I adjusted a recipe I had for a while to create my own taste.The key is to cook the chicken after coating it in salt, pepper, and flour. When adding it back into the pot from the plate, add it together with the meat's juices. It's good even without white vinegar. Recipe by LittleBird
