ENGLISH STYLE SPICED BEEF STEW
This is probably the best beef stew I've ever made. My recommendation would be to double or even triple it, this wasn't nearly enough! The broth is rich, yet not too thick. I did throw in the vegetables at the same time as the meat. It was delicious! Source: About.com

Steps:
- Saltpeter is a necessary preservative when curing meat and also adds a pleasing red color otherwise the beef will turn out a murky grey.
- Rub the meat all over with the sugar and put it in a pot with a lid for 2 days. Leave it in a cool place, turning and rubbing the meat occasionally with the sticky liquor that develops.
- Crush the peppercorns, juniper and allspice with a pestle and mortar and mix with the salt and saltpeter.
- Rub this mixture well into the meat and leave it in the pot for a further 9 days. Turn the meat and rub the pickling mixture into the flesh daily.
- When the pickling is complete, remove the beef and rub off any excess spices adhering to the surface. Do not rinse it.
- Wrap the meat in cooking foil [the Victorians used suet] and put into a large ovenproof pot. Add about 10 fl oz water, cover the pot with a double layer of foil and fit the lid on tightly.
- Preheat the oven to 275 deg F.
- Bake the meat slowly allowing 45 min per lb.
- When the meat is cooked, remove the pot and set aside until it is quite cold.
- Unwrap the meat, drain off any excess liquid and place on a board.
- Cover with foil, put a weight on it and leave for at least 24 hr.
- Carve the meat into thin slices and serve with anything from good mustard to pickled kumquats.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the stew pot helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and peas are all classic vegetables for beef stew. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Season the stew well: Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder are all essential seasonings for beef stew. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or thyme.
- Cook the stew low and slow: Beef stew needs to be cooked for a long time in order for the meat to become tender. The ideal cooking temperature is between 180 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. You can cook the stew in a Dutch oven on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
- Thicken the stew, if desired: If you want a thicker stew, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. To make a slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with cold water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the boiling stew and cook until thickened.
Conclusion:
English-style spiced beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef stew that your family and friends will love.
