Ultimate Beef Stew

"This stew recipe came from "Tyler's Ultimate" on the Food Network. It is FANTASTIC. The beef comes out tender and delicious. The orange peel and cloves create a great, warm flavor. Use a good bottle of wine and you will taste the difference! Serve with some crusty bread, and enjoy!"

directions

  • Preheat a large heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium high heat with oil and butter.
  • While pan is heating, arrange flour on a large dish. Season the cubed beef with some salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Shake of excess flour, then add beef in a single layer to pan, being careful not to over crowd. You might have to work in batches.
  • Thoroughly brown beef on all sides. Remove to a plate and reserve.
  • Add wine to the pan and bring up to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen tasty bits.
  • Add meat once wine is hot. Add thyme, smashed garlic, orange zest strip, ground cloves, salt and pepper to taste, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
  • Add beef stock. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered until the liquid starts to thicken, about 15-20 minute.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 2 1/2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, add potatoes, carrots, onions, and a pinch of sugar to balance out the acid in the wine.
  • Turn up heat and simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the peas during the last minute of cooking. Season with salt and pepper. Remove thyme sprigs and orange peel.
  • Serve with crusty peasant bread. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

I'm an 8th grade English teacher in Las Vegas. I'm happily married, and have developed a LOVE for cooking now that I have someone to cook for! Besides my new-found love of cooking, I also love to read and quilt. Our favorite thing to do on weekends or days off is head to the mountains for some camping and fishing.
