Fire Roasted Beef Stew

Fire Roasted Beef Stew

It’s that time of year again…time for Super bowl Sunday!  A great time for gathering all of your family and friends for yet another feast, and this Stew is perfect.  I would go ahead and make it on Saturday let it simmer for a few hours and refrigerate over-night, letting all the flavors melt together.  I try to get as much cooking done as possible the day before, I’m a fan too and don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen game time.  So this week’s offerings will be simple and quick, so no one will miss any of the action on the field.

Thank You

Ingredients

Serrano’s- 3

Garlic- 6 (cloves, Unpeeled)

Stew Meat- 3 pounds

Flour- ½ cup

Olive oil- 3 tbsp

Bacon fat- 2 tbsp

Onion- 3 cups (medium dice)

Celery- 3 cups (medium Dice)

Carrots- 3 cups (medium dice)

Red wine- 1 cup

Tomatoes- 2 cans 15 ounce (fire roasted)

Roasted red Peppers- ¾ cup (medium diced)

Beef broth- 10 cups

Cilantro- 3 tbsp (rough chopped)

Method to the Madness

1)      In a sauté pan add the Serrano and garlic and cook for 10 minutes, until they have black spots on them. While the Serrano’s and garlic are cooking combine the flour with the stew meat season with sat & pepper and mix well. Remove the Serrano’s and garlic from the pan and let cool. Toss them in a food processor and mince.

2)      In a large sauce pot over medium high heat add the bacon fat, brown the stew meat on all sides. Remove from pan. Add the olive oil and add the Serrano’s, garlic, celery, carrots and onion cooking until onions become soft and translucent. Deglaze the pan with the wine and scrape up all the brown bits, simmer until all liquid evaporates. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for at least 3-4 hours. Let cool and refrigerate overnight if possible.

3)      Reheat; bring the stew back to a boil for 30 seconds and let simmer until ready to enjoy. Add to your favorite soup bowl and garnish with the cilantro.

4)      ENJOY!!
