HERBED BEEF STEW



Herbed Beef Stew image

This is the best beef stew I have ever tasted and I am a huge fan of stew and have eaten a ton of it over my life. I found this recipe in a Light and Tasty catalog several years ago while at the dentists office. Of course I couldn't steal the recipe out of it but I immediately went on the hunt for it as soon as my root canal had calmed down and it was well worth the hunt. Everyone who tastes this stew begs for the recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

Time 7h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion, sliced thin
2 lb stew beef, cubed
1 can(s) tomatoes, diced (italian is good), undrained
1/4 c green bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 tsp jalapeno pepper, diced,
2 c beef broth
1/4 tsp sugar (i used splenda)
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp ginger, freshly minced (i used powder)
1 lb spinach, fresh
salt and pepper, to taste
cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Spray crock pot with cooking spray.
  • 2. Place all ingredients, except spinach, in crock pot in order listed. Cook on low for 6.5 - 7 hours.

  • 4. Serve with white rice and crusty bread. Plate and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For richer flavor, use a combination of chuck roast and short ribs.
  • Sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even browning.
  • Don't be afraid to use a variety of vegetables in your stew. Root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips add sweetness, while leafy greens like spinach and kale add color and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the stew. A dry red wine will add depth of flavor without being too overpowering.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
