Mum's Beef Stew
While my Mum was here I got Le Creuset recipes as she has one and really knows how to use it!
This is a classic British Beef stew easy and very tasty!
Ingredients:
- One medium Rutabaga chopped or Swede to us Brits
- 2 small parsnips chopped
- one large onion chopped
- 4 carrots chopped
- one large pack of stewing beef
Method:
- saute the meat in olive oil for 5 minutes to brown
- add vegetables with herbs de Provence (this was my choice) and a beef stock cube and a liter of water
- turn down to a simmer for about 2 hours
- just before serving thicken with corn starch
This looks like a terrific and comforting beef stew. I'd like to learn how to make egg rolls and dumplings from my mom, she made the best ones when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteSee what deliciousness comes from just a few choice ingredients! There are so many dishes I want to learn from my mother - I just wish she didn't live so far away.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely stew Rebecca, does the meat need to be dusted with flour before browning?
ReplyDeleteBeef Stew looks Delicious!!! Mom's are the Best!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can try out your mum's beef stew, look so delicious, but I don't think I can find some of the ingredients in here..
ReplyDeleteThat is one good looking beef stew. I have been prowling around the blog and you have some interesting recipes.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to learn recipes from our mom's. The first thing I learned was how to make fried rice. :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious Stew!!
Very comforting! I wish I could say gimme some right now but it has been in the 90's around here! will have to wait till fall.
ReplyDeleteI learned tricks in the kitchen from my mom. She did not have a huge passion for cooking but she liked to cook French dishes at her leisure.

ReplyDeleteNinety percent of my stock cooking comes from Mom. the stew is proof positive who much our moms know. Lovely.
