Steps:
- Pat the cubed meat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Toss the meat in flour.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add half the meat in a single layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove meat from pot, and transfer to a bowl. Add 1/3 cup of wine, and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any browned bits on the bottom of the pan (if wine evaporates too quickly to scrape up browned bits, add some stock). Transfer cooking liquid to bowl with meat. Wipe pot clean, and repeat process with remaining meat.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven, and add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 minutes.
- Deglaze pan with remaining 1/3 cup wine, and return reserved beef and cooking liquid to pot. Add stock and tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add carrots and mushrooms. Cook, covered, until meat and vegetables are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
CROCK POT BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW
A crock pot can be a great time saver for busy moms or people who work. I like using mine because I can make a meal and still take a nap or rest while it cooks. I don't have the extra energy always to stand and cook for hours. This recipe is full of my favorite foods. Serve this with crusty bread to sop up the extra liquid.

BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW
Steps:
- In a small bowl toss the beef well with the lemon juice, add the flour, and toss the beef until it is coated with the flour. In a heavy skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it brown the beef. Transfer the beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl and in the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onion and the mushrooms over moderate heat, stirring, until they are just tender. Add the wine, simmer the mixture for 1 minute, and stir in the consommé, the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes, stir in the beef and the juices that have accumulated in the bowl, and cook the stew until the beef is heated through. Serve the stew over the noodles.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, blade roast, and brisket are all good choices for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the stew. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
- Season the stew well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs are all good choices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Cook the stew low and slow. This will allow the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Beef and mushroom stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a beef and mushroom stew that your family and friends will love.
