A great potluck stew that reheats easily (see note below) Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs beef stew meat |
oil |
salt |
pepper |
1/2 cup wine |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) beef consomme or 1 (10 1/2 ounce) beef broth |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas |
6 leeks, washed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces |
6 celery ribs, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces |
1 1/2 tablespoons flour |
1 cup parsley, chopped |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1 garlic clove, mashed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300-degrees F.
2. In an oven-safe saucepan, brown meat and then season with salt and pepper. Stir in wine and consomme.
3. Cover tightly and cook in oven for 2 1/2 hours.
4. On top of stove in seperate pans cook vegetables until done. Drain, but save juices.
5. When meat is done, transfer meat to an oven-proof serving dish or casserole dish. Stir in vegetables. Add vegetable juices to meat juices to equal 1 - 1/2 cups of liquid (depending on how much broth you want in your stew) and thicken with flour.
