1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (48 ounce) can chicken broth
8 ounces beer (Booyah from the Milwaukee Brewing Co.)

  • Cut the beef chuck roast into 1 inch cubes and put into a resalable plastic bag. Add 1 Tbsp of flour to bag and shake until all the meat cubes are coated. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in 8 qt pot. When hot, add the meat and brown on all sides. Remove browned beef with a slotted spoon and reserve, repeat with remaining beef cubes.
  • Cut kielbasa into strips and cube (1/2 inch). Add to hot pot and cook over medium high heat until browned. Remove with slotted spoon and add to beef. Do not drain fat from pot.
  • Add onion, celery, red bell pepper, carrots, and the turnip to the pot. Sweat the vegetables over medium high heat until the onions are translucent. Add the Italian spice blend and the hot pepper flakes. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the best cut of beef. Brisket or chuck roast are ideal choices for a flavorful and tender stew.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much meat to the pot, it will not cook evenly and will become tough.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the stew. This will help to develop flavor and create a richer broth.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your stew.
  • Season the stew well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to taste.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
