Beef stew

Guys on the boat already know..crappy weather = some kinda stew.
Idk why but soup, stew or gumbo on a a crappy weather days is just ...right ya know. Honestly was trying to do a beef bourguignon buuuut want panning out quite right so. Idk eveyone keeps waking up and coming down to try and get a taste test so guess I can't be that bad ... I swear though it's missing something I can tput my finger on.



And now for the corn bread

Got enough salt in there? That could be what's missing.

I see no sign of tomatoes.

Looking good Wolfie, great minds think alike lol. Just starting mine, cabbage stew and buttermilk biscuits for supper this evening.

More onion,,,less carrots…

looks good

I have stock on , thinking chili tonight , probably chicken and beef I have some chicken thighs I butchered up for fajitas last night , bones & skin went in the stock pot I have a about a pound and a half diced up chicken and some left over beef from Sunday night.

definitely a pot that can be kept hot and ready to eat for fowl weather.

Taters?

X2 on the salt, a spoonful of whatsthishere sauce can help wake it up, I like to make a peanut butter colored roux to finish stews for flavor and to thicken it up, thin stew is just soup....

where are your potatoes?
or rutabaga

Be a cold day when I put tomatos in my stew. I HATE chunk tomatoes

Got three in there already

..... You know I could add some real quick

Ok what the heck is a rutabaga? Don't think I ever seen on ..or whatever rhubarb is

Not really stew related but I watched your YouTube videos wolf dog and you sound a lot different than I expected u guess I just have ways I think the guys on here sound and they’re not always accurate

Rutabagas rock, I use them in place of potatos all the time. I make a diced, roasted rutabaga dish that the family goes nuts for.

Rutabaga are root vegetables.

yeah bro I get that ALOT

Couple cans of corn would add some color and flavor.

In a beef stew?Never heard of that before.Looks good.

in Miss you could probably start Rutabaga about Halloween and harvest about Valentines day they like 50-65 degree days for growing to maturity

run some tillage root at the same time and shoot the hogs that come in to root at them.

got to have rutabaga in a pasty potatoes won't cut it

and there is only 12g carbs in a cup of cubed rutabaga where potatoes are more like 35g

they hold up better keep shape without going to mush but have a nice buttery flavor.

most of the time in the store you find them dipped in wax they will keep a long time like that , you just use a vegetable peeler to peal the wax and skin off and then cube or how ever you like to cut them

ok how about Chard , do yall use chard down there

stuff would grown year round in Miss , and be an excellent ground cover , keep cutting and eating all winter , they don't mind a couple inches of snow they spring right back when it melts.

X2

rutabage , turnip , parsnip and carrot , make nice bite size pieces about the same with all of them, with some smaller pieces of sweet onion toss in olive oil with salt and pepper and bake in a big skillet in oven about 350-375 till they have just a little color on them, very good roasted roots.

that is some good stuff

Added to cans of whole lil taters, looks a lot more appropriate.

Beaver Stew is my favorite

Gravy master is the secret for that dark color!!

Looks good W’Dawg

That sounds delish and I'm going to try it, thanks!

No need for extremes. Just need a few tablespoons of tomatoe paste.

BTW, didn't you say you were making something for a cold day?

Needs potatoes, corn, green beans and a jalapeno. I like tomatoes in mine and personally would add a can of fire roasted diced rotel tomatoes,

Looks good tho

Have you made them fried cabbage and sausage yet? Its great on a cold day

Don't see no peas and needs taters too.

Really looks good now.

Yum Yum

Love the Wagner Magnalite roaster! I have two the medium one fits inside the big Turkey roaster. I use them a lot. Good looking stew too!!

Got to have taters in stew. I'm more of a spicy chilli guy on cold days

Got a out 3 tablespoons of tomato paste in there Wolfdog ???

Nah but I'll try some next go round

That would turn it into vegetable beef soup. Beef stew just needs carrots, potatoes, and beef,,, well and onion.

Looks good. I serve it with cornbread instead of rice but I bet its great with rice. Don't forget a good dose of black pepper on the top.

Man looks good!

To me that looks like a good soup, a stew you should be able to stand a spoon in it.

Bob, yep I do like stew to be thick. I make a roux with flour and oil from beef browning process to thicken it with.

I prefer beaver stew.

Either way, it needs to have potatoes, onion, celery, cabbage, carrots, corn, green beans and pearl barley. And absolutely needs some home canned tomatoes in there too.

Nah, stew is brown...don't know what that red stuff is called...and chowder is white!
Tomatoes need not apply....

Like a lot of good trapping lures, the base can turn into something greater than itself, tomatoes cooked down turn brown and don't taste like maters no mo.

Mama, and me now, always add a jar of Ketchup to beef stew. Delicious!

Good beef stew has 4 ingredients. Beef, beef broth, potatoes and cabbage. No tomato anything, nothing else. Adding anything else is Kinda a mortal sin like putting beans in chili!

I like to add that warsh-your-sister-sauce to beef stew too.

You might try adding some sage.

Keith

that tomatoe in that cast has to clean off any seasoning

Rosemary goes well with beef, and no tomatoes in stew!

Life is to short to not have beans in my chili.....
