SWEET POTATO AND MOLASSES BEEF STEW



SWEET POTATO AND MOLASSES BEEF STEW image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef     Low Cal     Lunch     Simmer

Yield 4 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the meat:
1 lb stew meat (I cut this into smaller 1/2" chunks) Top round steak is good
1/3 c flour
1 t paprika
1/2 t ground thyme
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
For the Stewp:
2-3 c beef broth
1 T molasses
2 bay leaves
For the sweetness:
1.5 c diced sweet potato, peeled & cut into roughly 1/4" cubes (one medium sweet potato)
1 c carrot, peeled & cut into 1/2" pieces (about 2 medium carrots)
3/4 c celery, cut into 1/2" pieces ( about 2 stalks trimmed)

Steps:

  • Place the flour and spices in a large Ziploc bag and mix together. Add the meat and shake to coat thoroughly. Using 1.5 T oil added bit by bit, heat a large skillet. Add a third of the coated meat and brown on all sides. Place the browned meat in a stock pot and then repeat the process with the rest of the meat adding the remaining oil to the pan as needed. You are just searing the meat you are not trying to cook it all the way through... it is okay if parts are still uncooked! Add the beef broth to cover the meat. Stir in the molasses and add the bay leaves. Heat the mixture up to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer this for 1 hour. After the stew has simmered for 1 hour, add the sweet potato, carrots and celery. Return the stew to a steady simmer, cover, and cook for about 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and season the stew to taste with additional salt and pepper. Makes 4 good sized portions at 358 calories a serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Stew meat is typically made from chuck roast, rump roast, or round steak. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before stewing it. Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. Sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions are all classic stew vegetables, but you can also use other vegetables that you like, such as turnips, parsnips, or zucchini.
  • Add some herbs and spices to your stew. Common stew seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Cook the stew slowly and low. The longer you cook the stew, the more tender the beef will become. Aim to cook the stew for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up all of the delicious stew juices.

Conclusion:

Beef and sweet potato stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your stew spicy or mild, thick or thin, you are sure to find a recipe that you will enjoy.
