I’ve eaten a Korean beef stew that’s really good too. Slightly sweet because they flavor it with fruits. haven’t tried cooking it though.

I just dump whatever's on hand with the stewing beef into the thermal pot.


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...

hi, thanks for sharing.................... :rahrah:


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
