Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons shrimp and crab boil
3 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 gallons water
2 pounds hot smoked link sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
12 ears freshly shucked corn, broken into 3 to 4-inch pieces

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or stew meat are both good options, as they are tough cuts that will become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all good choices, but you can also use other vegetables such as turnips, parsnips, or rutabagas.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Common herbs and spices used in beef stew include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the stew slowly. The longer you cook it, the more tender the beef will become.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:
