Norwegian Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, combine 4 chopped plum tomatoes, red bell peppers, chopped red onion, habanero peppers, garlic cloves, tomato paste, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and water. Puree until smooth.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Add the remaining tomato, sliced onion, remaining salt, and remaining pepper. Sauté until fragrant.
• Add steak, rosemary, paprika, curry powder, and bullion cubes. Cook until the steak is golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Add the blended tomato and pepper mixture and the bay leaf.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer at low heat for 20 minutes, until the stew has thickened.
• Fish out the bay leaf.
• Remove stew from heat and let sit 10 minutes.
• Serve with white rice and fried plantains. Garnish with scallions and parsley, if desired.
• Enjoy!

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.
