Sled Dog Stew Recipes

SLED DOG STEW

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, and white pepper in a bowl. Toss the beef in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
• Place the olive oil and bacon in a 1-gallon stockpot and set over medium heat. Once the bacon begins to render its fat, add the beef and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often, only until the bacon begins to crisp. Add the garlic, carrots, parsnips, sweet corn kernels, and bay leaves. Sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, thyme, and potatoes and bring to a boil. When the stew boils, decrease the heat to medium-low, and add the Sled Dog and pearl onions. Cover the stockpot and simmer, stirring often, for 2 hours.
• Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaves, and adjust seasonings to taste.
• For a thicker stew, remove about 1 cup of the broth, place it in a bowl, and add some of the remaining seasoned flour, then add the mixture back to the stew.
• note
• Enjoy this hearty stew with some warm biscuits and garlic mashed potatoes. For a complementary beverage, buy a 25-ounce bottle of Sled Dog Doppelbock, use half for this recipe, and drink the rest with the meal; or try the stew with a full-bodied red wine such as Wagner Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. Venison may be substituted for the beef chuck.

GROUND BEEF STEW FOR DOGS

Steps:

• In large pot brown ground beef, (do not drain off fat as dogs do require some fat in their diets) Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
• Check and stir periodically, if too thick add a little more water.
• After 45 minutes it should look like a cross between soup and stew.
• Let cool, and it will thicken up some more.
• Put into individual serving size containers and freeze.
• (I have 2 poodles so I freeze in 1 cup containers and they each get 1/2 cup in the mornings).
• Larger containers for larger dogs.
• When ready to serve, remove lid and microwave until lukewarm, stir and make sure there are no hot spots!
