Absolutely the Best Amish Beef Stew Recipes
If you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal to warm you up on a cold winter day, look no further than Amish beef stew. With the perfect combination of tender beef, hearty vegetables, and savory seasonings, this delicious stew is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.Ingredients
The key to making the best Amish beef stew is using high-quality ingredients. Here are some of the most essential ingredients that you'll need:- Beef chuck roast: This cut of meat is ideal for stewing because it becomes tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
- Potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are best for stew because they hold their shape well and offer a creamy texture.
- Carrots: These add a natural sweetness to the stew and balance out the flavors.
- Celery: This vegetable adds crunch and texture to the stew.
- Onions: These add a depth of flavor to the stew and help to thicken the broth.
- Beef broth: A rich and flavorful broth is essential for a tasty stew.
- Tomato paste: This adds a complex, savory flavor to the stew.
- Flour: This is used to coat the beef before browning, which helps to thicken the stew.
- Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme are essential seasonings for a delicious beef stew.
Preparation
To make the best Amish beef stew, start by browning the beef in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. This step is important because it creates a crust on the outside of the meat that adds flavor and helps to thicken the stew. Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Next, add the onions to the pot and cook until they're softened and translucent. Then add the garlic powder, thyme, and tomato paste, and cook for another minute or two. This will help to release the flavors of the seasonings and tomato paste. Add the beef back to the pot and sprinkle flour over the meat. Stir well to coat the beef in the flour, then add the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot and return to a simmer. Cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.Variations
While the basic Amish beef stew recipe is delicious on its own, there are plenty of variations you can try to mix things up. Here are a few ideas:- Add some peas, green beans, or corn to the stew to add some extra color and flavor.
- Swap out the beef for venison or bison for a leaner protein source.
- Add some diced tomatoes or a splash of red wine to the broth to give it a deeper, richer flavor.
- Top the stew with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
