My Sunday Beef Stew

[thaigerd]

Like many Sundays before my little cooking report:

Today it's a beef stew. Just finished and it's very tender and tasty; slowly simmering the whole afternoon that we can eat it later with only a spoon .

Hello Gerd, it looks great and I can almost smell it. I am also a fan of slow cooking to bring out the taste of everything, but I use a slow cooker that will take 6-8 hours depending on the amount of food. The only trouble I have is eating too much so that I want to sleep for 3 days after eating.

Cheers!

Hey Gerd, looks great! Please post the details of the ingredients and method of cooking.

Cheers

oops, nearly forgot to answer your questions:

Ingredients:

Neck chain beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms.

Slicing the meat in cubes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Frying until nicely brown, adding the onions and a bit of fresh garlic. Add some tomato paste and fry again. Add some beef stock and simmer slowly until nearly soft.

Add the potatoes and carrots and mushrooms. I've used some bay leaves as well.

Lol, paddo`s is a term used for mushrooms used as a hallucinating/stimulating drug. Thought you knew the phrase.

Gerd - do you use beef stock in that? If you don't mind, maybe you can post your beef stock recipe.

Beef bones, beef trimmings all the cheap stuff. Simmer it in water with a hint of salt, carrots, celery, leeks and a roasted half onion(dont peel!!!)

I like a bit of nutmeg in my beef stock.

When I was shopping for my ingredients I saw the paddos in the shelf, the last pack and when passing by they started talking to me:"Gerd, take us with you for your stew, we'll give your stew a nice flavour.....".

Guess you are right with hallucinating/stimulating .

Thanks for that. Some goodies in there: leeks, roasted onion, nutmeg and bouquet garni.

[thaigerd]

You even know what's a bouquet garni and you ask me how to make a beef stock????

This was a test for me ....
