This is one of Sheila's favorite meals so here we go...
Some of the invitees to the party. Not pictured is about 3 lbs. of small gold potatoes, 2 packs of fresh mushrooms cut in half, and 1 lb. of frozen sweet peas...
Seasoned up some AP flour with just salt & black pepper. Rolled the stew in the mixture and then into a pan with beef tallow to brown on all sides. It took 3 batches to get it all done...
After all the meat was browned, I put the coarsely chopped onions in to soften...
Once soft, I stirred in 3 Tbsp of tomato paste...
Then deglazed with the unsalted beef broth and stir to combine into a gravy...
Once combined, this was put into a bigger pot along with another quart of the broth, covered and allowed to simmer for about 2 hours...
After 2 hours, the potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and peas were added and allowed to simmer covered for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender...
Served over rice with roasted Brussels sprouts with a balsamic glaze and sliced sour dough bread. Time to eat...
It's been unusually cold here with lows in the upper teens and this was the perfect meal for my zoo. Thanks to Steve and Ann for the inspiration...
A hearty bowl of stew hits the spot!
Ann makes a very hearty. And robust stew. With fresh rolls with butter.
