Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 pounds beef stew meat or chopped chuck roast
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground chili powder
5 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium beef broth, plus more if needed
One 7-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Pimiento Cheese and Bacon Grits, recipe follows, for serving, optional
5 slices thick-cut bacon
1 1/2 cups stone-ground grits
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup half-and-half
Two 4-ounce jars diced pimientos, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot over high heat, heat the oil and butter. Working in 2 batches, cook the beef until browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, garlic and some salt and pepper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
  • Add the beef broth and chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the meat is fall-apart tender and the liquid is thick, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Check occasionally and add more beef broth if the sauce becomes too thick or dry.
  • Serve immediately and garnish with the green onions, or allow to cool, cover with foil and refrigerate. To reheat, cook at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Garnish with the green onions before serving.
  • If serving with the Pimiento Cheese and Bacon Grits, spoon the hot stew over the warm grits in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and serve immediately or cover with foil and refrigerate. To reheat, cook at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Garnish with the green onions before serving.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove it to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the grits and salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the half-and-half and cook until the grits are tender and creamy, about 20 more minutes.
  • Add the pimientos, cream cheese, Cheddar and mustard and stir until melted together and combined. Chop the bacon into small pieces and add to the grits. Stir in the pepper and serve.

Add the chicken broth, 3 cups water, grits and salt and pepper; stir and bring to a boil. Next, add the butter. Reduce the heat and cook on low, about 20 minutes.

Remove from the stove, add the cheeses and stir until smooth and creamy. Add more half-and-half as needed.
  • Serve the stewed beef with the grits.

  • Use a good quality beef broth for the stew. You can also use half beef broth and half water.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Season the stew with salt, pepper, garlic, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
  • For the cheddar grits, use a good quality stone-ground grits. You can also use quick-cooking grits, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Cook the grits according to the package directions. Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese, butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the cheddar grits immediately with the spicy stewed beef.
