ULTIMATE BEEF STEW
Ina Garten couldn't possibly have known when she started working on her latest cookbook how much we'd all need comfort food right now. She came up with the concept for Modern Comfort Food more than two years ago, figuring the book would arrive just before the presidential election and that we might be a bit stressed. "Little did I know that 2020 would bring so much more," she says. "Right now I think we just want really simple comforting foods that make us feel good." In many ways, the book seems meant to be. "It was the easiest one I've ever written. I tend to gravitate toward comfort food anyway, and I found that the book just flowed in a way I don't ever remember." Many of the recipes are the culmination of years of experimentation and taste memories. This beef stew was inspired by the takeout stews Ina and Jeffrey ate in their tent when they camped outside Paris in the spring and summer of 1971. "Over the years I learned a lot about what makes beef stew really delicious," she says. "A nice red wine, short ribs instead of chuck. It's a classic recipe, just done in a more modern way."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300˚ F.
- Heat the oil in a large (11- to 12-inch) Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside.
- Meanwhile, season the short ribs all over with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Brown half the meat in the Dutch oven over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned on all sides. Transfer the meat to a bowl and brown the second batch. (Don't cook them all in one batch or they won't brown!) Transfer the second batch to the bowl and set aside.
- Off the heat, add the Cognac and 1/3 cup of the wine to the pot, scraping up any browned bits, then simmer over medium heat for one minute. Add the onions and fennel and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
- Stir the tomatoes and tomato paste into the vegetables. Add the remaining 2/3 cup of wine, the beef broth, the seared meat (and juices), 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and bake for 1 1/4 hours, checking occasionally to be sure the liquid is simmering.
- Degrease the stew, if necessary. Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cover and bake for one hour longer, until the vegetables and meat are very tender when tested with a fork. Just before serving, stir in the peas and pancetta, taste for seasonings and serve hot in large, shallow bowls.
SPRING HILL RANCH'S BEEF TONGUE STEW
This recipe is for a Basque tongue stew. It is a wonderful traditional beef stew which I learned to cook while living in northeastern Nevada. If you've never used beef tongue as an ingredient before, handling it takes a little getting used to. You simply have to forge onward and get over it! LOL! The flavor is similar to goat,...

Steps:
- 1. Place the beef tongue, chopped carrots, parsley, bay leaves, pepper corns and quartered onion in a 6 qt pot (or pressure cooker) with sufficient water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce to rolling simmer covered for 2 1/2 hours. If cooking in a pressure cooker, cook at high pressure (15 psi) for 60-75 minutes, then allow pressure to release normally.
- 2. Remove the tongue. Peel off the skin and trim the underside a bit. Discard the first 1/4" slice from the back. Then cut 1/4" slices crosswise to tip of tongue. You then add these slices to the prepared sauce (directions following) and simmer covered for about 45 minutes after which you continue simmering for one hour uncovered, stirring occasionally. Then serve the slices covering them with the sauce.
- 3. For the sauce: While the tongue is cooking, in a 6 quart saucepan sauté the garlic, onion and green pepper in oil. Add the tomatoes, and parsley. Simmer until the tomatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the beef stock, cover the pot and simmer it for 1 hour. Remove the cover and simmer it for another hour to allow reduction and thickening, stirring occasionally. Add the tongue slices as described above to finish the cooking process.

Steps:
- 1. In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tablespoon of the oil. In batches, sear the beef pieces well, turning to sear most of the sides of each chunk. Season each batch with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper as they sear. Remove the browned pieces to your slow cooker and repeat the process with more oil and more beef pieces until all the beef is browned. Note 1: Arm roast and chuck roast are nicely marbled and very flavorful - I highly recommend either in this stew. Note 2: Don't put more than about a quarter of the meat in the pan at one time. Crowding the meat pieces together will cause the meat to "steam" and release much of its moisture. That will dry the meat and reduce its ability to really brown nicely and it will not leave nice burned flavor-chunks ("fond") on the bottom of the pan. Note 3: You don't need to cook the beef pieces through, but just brown the outside. They will finish cooking in the crock pot.
- 2. In the same pan, and using a little more oil if needed, cook the onions until they are beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Season them with a little salt and pepper. Add the garlic and stir until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Move the cooked onion/garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
- 3. Once the meat and onion/garlic mixture are in the slow cooker, sprinkle on the flour and chili powder. Stir it all around to coat everything.
- 4. Add the potatoes, carrots, the tomatoes with their juice and the water. Put the lid on and cook on "low" setting for about 7 hours. If you are going to use the corn and/or peas, put them in and cook for an additional 1 hour. Note: If the sauce has not thickened, turn the heat up to high and bring the pot to a boil. Stir. The sauce does need to boil in order for the flour you added make the sauce thicken. If it still is not thick enough for your taste, stir 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a couple tablespoons of cold water, then slowly stir it into your boiling pot.
BEEF & MUSHROOM BRAISED STEW
Every spring, my family heads out to our timber acreage to collect morel mushrooms, and then we cook up this stew. We use morels, of course, but baby portobellos or button mushrooms or will work, too. -Amy Wertheim, Atlanta, Illinois
