Jamie Oliver Beef And Guinness Stew Recipes

JAMIE OLIVER - BEEF AND GUINNESS STEW WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large dutch oven, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Toss the meat cubes with the 1 ½ tbsp of flour, and then in batches, brown them until seared. Remove to plate as you go.
• Add more oil if you need to, then add the celery, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the mushrooms, bay leaves, broth, tomato paste, and Guinness; bring to a boil, then cover and put into the oven.
• Let the stew bubble away in the oven for two hours. Mean while, make the dumplings.
• In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cut in your bits of butter with a pastry cutter, and then stir in the cheese. Add milk, stirring until you get a wet dough. You may need more or less, use your judgment.
• Spoon out portions of the dough about the size of a ping pong ball, roll them with your hands, and place on a cookie sheet. Put them in the fridge to chill while the stew cooks.
• When the stew is finished, plop the dumplings in one at a time, pushing them under the juices, and then put a lid back on and allow them to cook for another 30 minutes.

STEAK AND GUINNESS PIE - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Season your beef generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the flour and toss around until all pieces are well coated.
• Heat olive oil, over med.-high heat, in a large casserole type pan and brown the meat. Make sure to not crowd your meat. You may do this in two batches, if necessary.
• Add the onion and cook for 1 more minute. Then add the carrots, potatoes and fresh herbs. Cook for another 4 minutes. Add the Guinness and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Stir and turn down the heat to simmer. Simmer this mixture for about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. The sauce should be thick and intensely flavored. Season if needed.
• To make pies:.
• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put your meat filling into a large, round baking dish. You could also make individual pies. Any high-sided round ovenproof bowl is fine.
• Roll out the pastry, dusting with flour as you go, until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out a large circle (or individual circles for smaller servings) - about 1/2 inch bigger than the top of your bowl. Brush the rim(s) of the bowl with the beaten egg, then place the pastry circle(s) on top, pushing the excess pastry down the outside of the bowl to secure. Lightly score the top of the pastry in a criss-cross manner and brush with more of the beaten egg.
• Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

BEEF AND GUINNESS STEW

Steps:

• Combine flour, a big pinch of salt, thyme and a hefty dose of pepper in a bag, add the beef and shake like a mad man.
• Heat the oil in a large pot and little by little brown the stew meat on all sides. Remove and add the mirapoix to the pot. Scrape the bottom to get all the brown goodies off the bottom. When wilted add back the beef. Pour in the bottle of Guinness. When the foam dies down add the button mushrooms, sprigs of fresh thyme and add sufficient beef broth to cover.
• Cover and simmer. Stir occasionally to keep from scortching.
• When the beef is almost tender and the sauce reduced add the rest of the veggies and continue to cook until tender.
• Be careful with the salting as the sauce will concentrate.
