Beef Stew Canning Recipes

Steps:

• Chop all veggies except celery to uniform size, about one inch or so.
• Add all of the first ingredients to jars leaving 1 inch of headroom.
• Add salt, pepper and garlic sliver to each pint jar then add the remaining corn, peas and green beans, the last is the boiling beef broth.
• I didn't leave the 1 inch of head space to each jar and they came out fine. Don't worry about the small amount of liquid. When the veggies cook they will produce plenty.
• Process for 60 min at 10 psi.

Steps:

• Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add more oil as needed between batches.
• Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
• Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.

Steps:

• In a 4 to 6 quart kettl or dutch oven, brown half the meat at a time in hot shortening. In kettle combine browned meat, 2 cups water, carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, garlic, salt, worcestershire sauce, paprika and pepper. cook covered 15 minutes. Combine flour and 1/2 cups cold water, add to boiling stew mixture. Cook till bubbly. ( Mixture will appear thin before canning).
• Pack into jars, distributing meat, vegetables and gravy evenly and leaving a 1 inch head space. Adjust lids. Process in pressure canner at 10 pounds pints: 75 minutes or Quarts 90 minutes.
• Makes 8 pints.
