JAPANESE-STYLE BEEF STEW



Japanese-Style Beef Stew image

The beef stew here will be unfamiliar to most cooks, though it has much in common with the classic American dish. It is Japanese in origin and loaded with the warmth of soy, ginger, sweetness (best provided by mirin, the sweet Japanese cooking wine, but sugar or honey will do, too), winter squash and the peel and juice of a lemon. These simple and delicious counterpoints make a great stew.

Time 6h45m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
ground black pepper, to taste
3 lbs chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 teaspoons sesame oil
1 cup scallion, trimmed and chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and minced
4 cups beef broth
4 tablespoons soy sauce
8 ounces white mushrooms, halved
4 carrots, peeled and cut into bite-sized rounds
1 lb sweet potato, peeld and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb sugar snap pea

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, garlic powder, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the beef and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (can be done ahead).
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil then the beef in batches, browning on all sides. Remove browned beef to a Crock Pot. Drizzle approximately a cup of the beef broth into the skillet, gently scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Carefully pour the broth from the skillet into the Crock Pot.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except the snow peas to the Crock Pot and set to warm. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add the snow peas for the final 30 minutes of cooking. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Always sear the meat before slow cooking to add flavor and depth to the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew for a more nutritious and flavorful dish. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Be sure to add enough liquid to the stew so that the meat and vegetables are covered. Water, broth, or a combination of both can be used.
  • Season the stew well with salt, pepper, and other spices and herbs of your choice. Some popular choices include garlic, ginger, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew hot over rice or noodles, or with a side of bread or biscuits.

Conclusion:

Japanese beef stew is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also relatively easy to make, especially if you use a slow cooker. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and hearty stew that the whole family will enjoy.
