Kentucky Bourbon Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in an 8-quart pot over medium heat; brown pork and beef cubes in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary.
• Stir in chicken broth, chicken pieces, potatoes, and carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer stew for 1 hour.
• Stir in stewed tomatoes, barbeque sauce, green beans, okra, corn, onion, green bell pepper, celery, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
• Bring stew back to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 more hour.
• Discard bay leaves before serving stew in bowls.

Steps:

• 1. Put the pork, veal, beef, lamb, and chicken into a large pot. Add the water and bring it to a boil slowly. Simmer until meat is tender enough to fall off the bones, about 4-6 hours.
• 2. Lift the meat out of the stock. Cool the meat, remove it from the bones, and chop it. Return the chopped meat to the stock.
• 3. Pare the potatoes and onions and dice them. Add them, plus the carrots, green peppers, cabbage, tomato puree, corn, red pepper, okra, parsley, lima beans, celery, and bourbon, to the meat and stock. Allow the stew to simmer until very thick about 6 hours.
• 4. Season to taste with the salt, pepper, Tabasco, steak sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.

Steps:

• Take the beef and pork and marinate overnight in the bourbon and garlic turning the meat during the marinate time.
• Reserve the liquid In a heavy stockpot, heat the oil.
• When hot sear the beef and pork in batches until you have a good color on the meat.
• Add the quartered onions, garlic, and pepper.
• Cover with water and reserved marinade.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for about 3 hours.
• Salt and pepper the chicken and add it to the pot during the last hour and a half.
• At the end of the 3 hrs remove the meat and veg from the pot.
• Cool the meat and discard the veg.
• Add the remaining veg and the sugar to the pot of hot liquid.
• Cook for an additional hr.
• When the meat has cooled cube it removing the chicken skin and bones.
• About a 1-inch cube works well.
• Return the meat to the pot and cook for 30 minutes more.
• Correct the seasoning if needed.
• Get a basket of homemade rolls or French bread serve and watch them come back for more.

Steps:

• 1. Put the black peppercorns in a wide, flat dish. Press the steaks into the peppers to coat them on all sides, then season with salt. Set aside.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add the steaks, two at a time if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer each steak to a dinner plate and set aside.
• 3. Add the shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the bourbon, then carefully return the pan to the stove over low heat and cook until the bourbon is almost entirely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, raise the heat to high, bring it to a boil, and continue to boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Swirl in the cream and the butter and warm gently.
• 4. Pour some sauce over each steak and serve.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add beef; cook and stir until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour in bourbon and scrape up any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
• Cancel Saute function. Add potatoes, black beans, corn, mushrooms, and carrots to the pot. Sprinkle salt, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and cinnamon over the beef and vegetables. Stir. Close and lock the lid. Select Stew function; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes. Make sure all the pressure has released and the valve has dropped before you open the lid.
