<![CDATA[beef stew]]>can you share your beef stew recipe?


is it necessary to brown the meat before cooking them? some days i just dont wish to do any frying so thought of throwing everything into a pot.

i tried a few western recipes but wonder is there a chinese or local beef stew recipe. the western ones have got too many ingredients which i am unsure which one i can throw out.

i know i can use different mean and veg but it is the sauce/gravy that give me problem.

so any step by step guidance is much appreciated.

cheers

i think my problem is the sauce/gravy whatever you call it. i believe i must have added too much/little water each time because of the different vegetables used and didnt guage the water vol correctly.

also i think i will start playing with one or two spices mentioned.

cheers

I buy my frozen beef cubes from NTUC.

The must-have veggies are:
Onion,
Carrot,
Celery &
Potato

The amounts to put in is up to you, based on what's your favourite.

The depends on what's available veggies are:
Tomatoes
Brinjal
Mushroom

Again, it's up to you, based on what you like.

Then stew with liberal dashes of dried herbs like oregano, basil, pepper, cinnamon etc...

I brown the beef a little with olive oil, then throw in the chunks of potatoes to sear, then throw in everything else. I then pour in enough water to cover everything, and season with salt and a Knorr beef cube. For brown colour, I add dark soya.

Then once the pot boils to more than 5 minutes, I put it into the thermal pot and stew until the beef is done. 😉

Serve with crusty bread...

Slightly sweet because they flavor it with fruits. haven’t tried cooking it though.

For a chinese style stew I use beef shin and brisket, add to that oyster sauce, ginger, black peppercorns, garlic, cinnamon sticks, star anise and stock or sometimes just water. Sometimes I add radish.

Interesting recipe. Didn't know there's Chinese Beef Stew. Thanks for sharing jce. 😄

I just dump selected veges and the meat and let it all simmer on low heat. Of course the veges go in base on their ‘quickness’ to cook. I don’t bother with the spices either as I like the aroma from all the vege and the fresh beef. For beef stew, to get a richer beefy taste, can add a tablespoon of Bovril or some beef stock.

I dumped 500 grams of beef with 1 carrot, 1 large white onion, 2 average-sized potatoes, 1 stick of celery, 1 large tomato and 2 pieces of star anise... All into the slow cooker and water to cover the ingredients. Added salt, pepper and light soya sauce to taste. Didn't add dark sauce and corn flour to thicken it, because DD requested it to be soupy style instead of gravy, as she wanted to drink as soup, like Cedele's beef stew soup.

Taste was great, but of course nowhere near Cedele's... But at least it was made with TLC.... Tender loving care.... :love:

I don’t have any local recipes. Would love to try one if anyone’s sharing.
