Beef Stew With Root Vegetables Horseradish Recipe 455

BEEF STEW SCENTED WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Pat the meat dry, sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper and dredge in flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot and ripping, add half the meat and brown, and then remove to plate. Repeat with the second batch of meat. Once all the meat is evenly browned, reduce the heat a bit and add another drizzle of oil if necessary. Then add the onions, garlic and bay and cook to soften, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir a minute. Then stir in the beer and reduce by half, a minute or 2 more. Add the Worcestershire, stock, horseradish and beef. Add just enough water to surround the meat and partially cover. Simmer over medium-low heat for 2 hours, until very tender. Cool and store in the fridge for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, quarter the potatoes, cover with water in a medium pot and bring to boil. Salt the water and cook to just-tender, 10 to 12 minutes, tops. Drain and return to the hot pot. Add the butter and parsley and stir to melt the butter.
• Place a small pile of buttered potatoes in each shallow bowl, top with stew and garnish with watercress leaves. Serve with pumpernickel or sourdough bread.
• Cook's Note: When storing bread in your kitchen for a few days, wrap tightly in plastic to keep tender, and crisp in a hot oven. Do not refrigerate.

CLASSIC BEEF STEW WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F. Adjust oven rack to bottom third so that your pot and lid fit easily. Have your vegetables prepped and ready to go.
• Place the beef on a tray. Pat the beef dry with a clean kitchen rag or paper towel. Stir in 1 teaspoon each fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to the flour. Sprinkle 4 Tablespoons of seasoned flour over the beef. Using clean hands or tongs, toss the beef thoroughly in the flour, making sure it is well-coated.
• Over medium heat, melt 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon butter together in a large Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid. (I usually use an Le Creuset enameled cast iron 3.5 qt braiser.) When the butter is bubbling, add half the beef and brown the meat all over, turning each piece with tongs. It should sizzle when added.
• When the beef is browned on all sides, transfer it to a clean bowl. Pour about 1/2 cup of beef stock into the pan to deglaze; scrape the bottom with a firm rubber spatula to get up all the browned bits. Pour this gravy over the browned beef.
• Set the pan back over medium heat. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with remaining beef, this time, deglazing with the red wine. Transfer to a bowl.
• Over medium heat, melt together the final teaspoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil in the pot. Tumble in the shallots and onion. Sauté for 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the dried herbs and garlic; add the rutabaga, carrots as well. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables have softened around the edges. Sprinkle remaining seasoned flour over the vegetables (about 2 Tablespoons) and stir well to coat. Cook for about a minute, then pour in the remaining beef stock. Scrape the bottom well.
• Return the beef and all juices to the pot. Add Dijon and Worchestershire. Stir well. The stock should just barely cover the meat and vegetables. Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and place in the oven.
• Slow braise the stew for 3 hours. Remove the lid and cook for an additional hour. Allow the stew to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools. Season generously with additional salt and pepper, tasting each time.
• Serve with crusty bread and butter or a mountain of mashed potatoes.

BEEF STEW WITH FRESH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• In large stockpot, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon just turns crisp and brown, about 7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Pat beef dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper. Heat pot over high heat and cook the meat in batches to avoid crowding the pot, leaving ample room between pieces, and turn it as it cooks so that all sides are browned. Each batch should take a total of 3 to 4 minutes; as soon as it's ready, transfer the batch to a large bowl and then continue with the next one. You may need to add more fat if the pot becomes too dry during cooking. Once all of the meat has been cooked, pour off the fat and reserve. Pour in 1 cup stock, and bring to a boil over high heat. Deglaze pot, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Pour this over the meat in the bowl.
• Add olive oil to pot over low heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. (If the bottom of the pot is turning too dark, or the onions begin to stick, stir in about 1/4 cup stock.)
• Once the vegetables have softened, stir in the flour and mustard, and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Pour in 2 cups stock. Return the beef to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl. Pour in 2 cups red wine. Add the herbs and bring the liquid to a full boil before reducing the heat so the stew is at a simmer. Cover pot, and simmer until the meat is tender (it should pull apart easily with a fork), about 1
• Put the potatoes and cipollini onions in the pot. If necessary add more stock so everything is covered for even cooking. Simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. You'll need to give the pot a good stir every now and then. Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the lardons.
• Stir together the grated horseradish and vinegar. Place egg noodles in wide shallow bowls, then ladle the stew on top and garnish with carrots, the horseradish mixture, and dill.

SLOW COOKER GUINNESS BEEF STEW WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef and 2 tablespoons flour. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high. Working in batches, add the beef and let it brown on two sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add a bit more oil if the meat sticks. (You can brown it on more than two sides if you have time, but two sides is enough to build flavor and texture.) Transfer the browned beef to a bowl or plate.
• Make the gravy: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the garlic, dried shiitakes (if using), tomato paste, brown sugar, cocoa, onion powder, caraway seeds and espresso powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant and evenly blended, 1 to 2 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low or remove from the heat temporarily if the bottom of the pan threatens to burn.) Add the remaining 1/3 cup flour and cook, stirring and scraping constantly, until the mixture forms a thick, dry paste, about 1 minute. Add the beer and broth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, whisking constantly to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it boil until it is smooth and noticeably thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Add the beef and any juices, the thyme, potatoes and root vegetables to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Add the gravy and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low until the beef and vegetables are tender, about 8 hours.
• When ready to serve, add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Taste, and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice, if necessary. (If the stew tastes flat, add more lemon juice first, then more salt and pepper; acid is key to making it taste lively. It may need a surprising amount of salt, especially if you have used unsalted or low-salt stock.) Discard the thyme sprigs.
• Make the horseradish sour cream: Stir together the sour cream, horseradish and scallions in a small bowl. Season with salt. Serve stew in low bowls with a spoonful of the horseradish sour cream on top.

BEEF STEW WITH ROOT VEGETABLES & HORSERADISH RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. In a 6-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, cook the bacon in the oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned but not crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Do not wipe out the pan. Heat the bacon fat over medium to medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Season about one-third of the beef with salt and pepper and arrange it in a single layer in the pot (there should be at least 1/2 inch of space between the pieces). Brown well on at least 4 sides, adjusting the heat as necessary; each batch should take about 10 minutes to brown. Transfer the beef to a large bowl or rimmed baking sheet as it browns and repeat with the rest of the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper before browning. Once all of the beef is browned, remove the pot from the heat to let it cool for a few minutes. Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pot. (If there is not enough, add oil to equal 2 tablespoons). Return the pot to medium heat, then add the onion, celery, and carrot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the bacon to the pot. Add the wine, stirring with the wooden spatula to dissolve any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Raise the heat to medium high and boil to reduce by about half, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the beef broth and 1-1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot along with any accumulated juice. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Crumple a 12x16-inch piece of parchment, then flatten it out. (Crumpling makes for easy handling.) Place the parchment directly on the surface of the stew, allowing the ends to come up the sides of the pot. Cover and put in the oven. After 1 hour of stewing, add the parsnips, carrot pieces, and potatoes to the pot. Cover with the parchment and lid, and cook until the beef is fork-tender, 1 to 2 hours more. (Shoulder cuts will take longer than leg cuts.) Stir in the parsley and horseradish. Degrease the stew by laying a clean paper towel over the surface of the stew and gently pushing it into all the bumps and dips, then quickly peeling it off. Repeat as necessary with more paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve. Make Ahead Tips The stew can be made up to 2 days ahead: Skip the degreasing step, cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate. Once the stew is chilled, lift the solidified fat off the top with a slotted spoon. Reheat the stew over medium-low heat to serve.
