GRANNY'S FIVE HOUR BEEF STEW



Granny's Five Hour Beef Stew image

My Mom made this all the time when I was growing up - it was one of my favorite meals! She always called it 'Five Hour Beef Stew', and since all the grandkids call her Granny, I thought I would rename it so they would know where the recipe came from. Thanks Mom!! The only difference in my version is the cream of mushroom soup...

Provided by Rae Perkins

Categories     Beef Soups

Time 5h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 lb stew beef
3 lb potatoes
2 lb baby carrots
2 can(s) tomato soup (family size)
2 can(s) cream of mushroom soup (family size)

2 can(s) peas
2 can(s) cut green beans
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 3. Peel and cube potatoes into about 3/4 or 1 inch pieces.
  • 4. Cut baby carrots in half, if smaller pieces are desired - I leave mine whole.
  • 5. In a large roasting pan, thoroughly combine all four cans of soup. NOTE: for those of you that don't like mushrooms: use 4 small cans of cream of celery - either way tastes good to me!
  • 6. Add beef, potatoes, carrots, and a few shakes of salt and pepper to soup; mix well.
  • 7. Cover and bake for 4 hours, stirring about every 30 to 45 minutes.
  • 8. Drain water, then add corn, peas, and green beans.

Old-Fashioned Beef Stew image

This classic stick-to-your-ribs stew is the ideal project for a chilly weekend. Beef, onion, carrots, potatoes and red wine come together in cozy harmony. If you are feeding a crowd, good news: It doubles (or triples) beautifully.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound beef stewing meat, trimmed and cut into inch cubes
5 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup red wine
3 1/2 cups beef broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
2 bay leaves
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
5 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add more oil as needed between batches.
  • Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
  • Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, sear the beef cubes in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat before adding the other ingredients. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside, then add the vegetables and cook until softened. Return the beef to the pot and proceed with the recipe.
  • If you don't have time to cook the stew for 5 hours, you can cook it for a shorter amount of time on high heat. However, the longer you cook the stew, the more tender the beef will be.
  • You can add other vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, celery, or parsnips. You can also add herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • The stew can also be cooked in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours.

Conclusion:

Granny's Five-Hour Beef Stew is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The stew is made with tender beef, vegetables, and a rich, flavorful sauce. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your stew thick or thin, with or without vegetables, Granny's Five-Hour Beef Stew is a versatile dish that is sure to please everyone.
