Devilish Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place beef cubes into a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add flour and paprika and toss until evenly coated.
• Heat oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until dark brown, about 4 minutes per side. Flip or stir gently with a wooden spoon until all edges are dark brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove beef and set aside.
• Add onions to the beef fat with more salt and pepper; cook and stir until they begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir until aromatic and soft, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it turns brown and begins to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up the flavorful browned bits on the bottom. Let the wine reduce until almost dry again, about 3 minutes.
• Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, herbes de Provence, and bay leaves. Add 2 cups beef broth and Worcestershire, stir, and bring to a boil. Add the seared beef cubes back into the stew liquid. Remove from heat and cover the pot.
• Braise in the preheated oven until meat is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Add carrots, potatoes, and more beef broth if needed. Cover and return to the oven to braise until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.
• Discard bay leaves. Stir in peas, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add meat, flour, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add broth, tomatoes, potatoes, celery, and carrots, then stir in Creole seasoning and basil. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain simmer and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are soft, meat is tender, and gravy is thick, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a plastic bag, toss beef cubes with flour to coat, reserving the remaining flour.
• In a Dutch oven, brown beef 1/3 at a time in hot oil.
• Return all meat to pan and remove from heat.
• Add 2 cups of water, mustard, salt, garlic, chili powder, worcestershire and pepper.
• Simmer covered for 1 to1 1/2 hours or until meat is almost tender.
• Add 1 1/2 cup water, potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and simmer covered for 30 minutes.
• For Gravy, remove meat and veggies, skim fat from liquid.
• If necessary, blend the 1/4 C water into the reserved flour until smooth.
• Slowly stir into hot liquid. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
• Season with salt and pepper, return meat and veggies to the gravy mixture and heat through.

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:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• In a large shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and mustard powder.
• Dredge round steak in this mixture.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown steak on both sides.
• Remove and place in a shallow baking dish.
• Add remaining ingredients to skillet, stirring well to pick up the bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Pour over the steak.
• Cover with tin foil and bake for 2 hours.
