I made this with the half a cup of bourbon. The chuck roast turned out incredibly soft. I used center cut chuck roast. One of my favorite recipes. Easy and delicious. I walk away and do other things while the meat is browning. So healthy with the carrots, potatoes, tomato, onion, garlic, beef, and broth. What a flavor
I always put the ceiling fan on whilst cutting onions. Because the air is coming from above, it pushes the onion juices away from you and keeps fresh air out of your glasses... No ceiling fan, use cross ventilation... Anything to keep the air fresh in front of your eyes. With love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵.
I think adding the lemon zest and juice right before serving is an inspired choice. If I were out of lemons, I would replace with a good quality sherry vinegar and chopped flat-leaf parsley, but what you presented was a perfect beef stew imo.
Delicious! I didn't add the brandy, or the lemon, infact I didn't even add the potatoes, just carrots and beef (I made garlic mashed potatoes on the side and served with dinner rolls) using the sauce as a gravy --- very good! And my house smells amazing.👍 😋
I loved the music used when cutting the onions...lol Some fresh mushrooms would top that delicious beef stew right up! Thanks for sharing your recipe it looks so good.
Hands down the best beef stew my family has ever had! We tried the recipe with both 2 tbsp and 1/2 cup and the one with a 1/2 cup of bourbon was better! Thank you for this amazing recipe!
A stew is one of those things that you can put just about anything into and it will taste wonderful, but to respond to your prompt, first I would probably brown a bit of tomato paste after browning the aromatic vegetables and just before deglazing, and second, if you want to use mushrooms, but you have finicky eaters, try using ground dried mushrooms as you would a spice. A tablespoon or two ought to do it. This adds an earthiness to the flavor that can't really be easily named if you don't see and taste the otherwise rubbery bits. I've never thought of using lemon zest and juice to finish a stew, but for acidity I have used pomegranate molasses or a good sherry vinegar at times.
Best beef stew I’ve ever had… the whole family loved it!! I used bourbon instead of brandy but only an ounce or two lol. Thank you for sharing that great recipe!
I love making a beef stew that’s got a lot of vegetables in it. Things like corn, carrots, peas, celery, onion, garlic, and a fresh homemade tomato paste to help bring out all the flavors with other herbs and spices. Garnish a bowl with a few pinches of shredded cheese and a side of crackers or a biscuit and it’s the best. ❤️
I would add mushrooms , celery, and a little parsnips would be good with the carrots. I think even corn and green beans would work well in this stew as well.
I know you explained it, but when you said half a cup of brandy, and the video said 2tbsp, all I could think about was Sandra Lee with "2 shots of vodka" LOL :D
Yes, those brown bits add flavor... but don't skip getting them off the bottom of the pan for 2 more reasons. 1. If there's a lot, it may burn and leave a foul taste. 2. It's waaaay easier to get the bits off now 4:35 than afterwards with a scrubbing pad. 💜🌞🌵
I absolutely LOVE your sweet recipes (every time I make one, I get rave reviews!), but I was so excited to see this savory dish from you!!! This looks delicious, and, if it's anywhere as good as your cakes and cupcakes, it will be fabulous! Keep 'em coming, please!
Truthfully I think he probably cooked a whole pound and this is all that made it to the crumble.... because that's what happens at my house. 😆. LOL! With lots of love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵
Geez! You guys the who make comments about how you make this stew. Preppy teaches, demonstrates and he does a great job. This stew is excellent! The booze added is wonderful!
My mother made really great beef stew with similar ingredients all tossed into a large pressure cooker. Very little time later = dinner! She trimmed the fat from the beef, of course, because she wanted our arteries to last a long lifetime. So far so good.
That looks amazing, do you have a good bread for sopping? I agree with adding mushrooms, and I make German dumplings if I had not made bread. (The brown sugar suggestion mellows out tartness of tomatoes, good suggestion. )
Dude I love your videos, you're so silly and make such amazing dishes like what the heeeeeeck 100000/10 would recommend to anybody who aspires to be a great chef like you
I'm going to make this, but I will definitely toss the beef in flour before cooking,and as it will help to thicken the sauce and make it less like soup broth. I don't think I'll do the lemon at the end either. I'm looking forward to making this.
I would have carmelized the onions a bit more (before adding the Brandy) until they were a rich golden brown. Time wise I would have started the onions before seasoning the meat. 💜🌞🌵
Wow this is a nice twist I’ve never made beef stew until I see this am going to try this one🇧🇸. It has a lot of favor to it with frying the bacon then adding your onions garlic umm good stuff
The first time I saw Baby Potatoes you made a perfect easy beef stew that 90% of people won't add red wine that's a little strange adding wine to the food however I would rather add beef broth instead of red wine this video is helpful for everyone thsnks.
Your chuck roast had nice marbling. So much better than beef stew meat that you can buy precut. Thanks for the tip. But they are usually square not round like that.
I added balsamic vinegar instead of brandy. Added 1/4 cup of flour and cooked to dissolve before adding red wine. And added 1 cup of frozen peas right at the end with the lemon. (Oh and YES mushrooms are a must!)
I also have a mushroom "won't eater." Sometimes I cook some for me on the side, in butter, and add when serving. Sometimes I am selfish and add them and "the other half" can pick around them.
Some redbean ..i preferred to add to that stew,for mushroom i chose portobello for other variation😋thanks Preppy kitchen 4 shared this recipe.. Cheers from eastjakarta Indonesia🍜👍
This is perfect! Sad how someone in your household misses out on fish tacos and beef stew with mushrooms. But personally, I could forgive him if he likes pineapple on his pizza. 😄 Thank you, John. You're the bomb!
Hi John, in your video you said 2 TABLESPOONS of salt and 1 TABLESPOON of pepper, but the note on screen says TEAspoons, which is it please, just for a ball park figure for me…….thanks for all your amazing recipes, love them all! Xx♥️xX
I'd think if you wanted to really thicken this stew up, you could make a roux to mix in prior to all the wets. Maybe even brown the butter and then the flour a bit to darken the roux slightly so it won't lighten the color of the stew.
It looks super good.. but it doesn’t look like stew. It looks like soup. I love your videos though! Whenever I’m having a bad day, I turn your videos on and you make me feel better. Thank you!
I'm a mushroom fan too. But I also love frozen peas in beef stew. I like the frozen because they don't get soggy like the canned. They stay nice and crunchy adding a needed texture profile. Thank you, thank you for leaving out the noodles. In my book, it's either potatoes OR noodles, not both! With love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵
@@budoneof15 , I didn't read his show notes until now, but he mentions adding pasta, rice or beans to make it a bit hardier. Maybe it's a regional thing? IDK. 😕. Truth is I like beans and potatoes, but generally I like only one starch in a dish.... Either rice, potatoes OR pasta. With love 💜from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵
@@Appaddict01, I like that too. Makes me think of Louisiana. But I'd leave off the potato if I'm serving beef stew on a bed of rice. Yum! I'm making myself hungry! LoL! Love💜 from sunny🌞 Arizona 🌵
When you were chopping the onion, and the sensitive music started playing, I was kinda' expecting to see you cry. Doesn't make me a bad person.
Carlos Robins 😊😂I was kind of disappointed that he didn’t cry.😁
Today I learned the difference between "easy" and simple.
I made this with the half a cup of bourbon. The chuck roast turned out incredibly soft. I used center cut chuck roast. One of my favorite recipes. Easy and delicious. I walk away and do other things while the meat is browning. So healthy with the carrots, potatoes, tomato, onion, garlic, beef, and broth. What a flavor
Tip: When you chop the onion, leave the root part on until the last, it won't be "stinky" and you won't cry!
I always put the ceiling fan on whilst cutting onions. Because the air is coming from above, it pushes the onion juices away from you and keeps fresh air out of your glasses... No ceiling fan, use cross ventilation... Anything to keep the air fresh in front of your eyes. With love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵.
We are hispanich so i add beans of any kind and serve it with white rice. I also love the purple potatoes and mushroom

I made this last night (without bacon) it was SOOO good and super easy! Thanks for this :)
This is a delicious stew. I made it with bourbon and wine. I added small green peas. It's really good. Thanks!

I'd add mushrooms and pearl onions,I always always add either stewed tomatoes or whole tomatoes (red onions are always sweeter
Yes on the mushrooms!!! lol wish I was there right now to eat a bowl!! Looks and sounds fantastic!!

Did you try it? How was it?
@@newfie8 honestly, I don't remember, lol. Probably, and I'm sure it was tasty; everything else by John is!
That bacon wouldn't make it to the crumble for garnish stage 😂
Truthfully I think he probably cooked a whole pound and this is all that made it to the crumble.... because that's what happens at my house. 😆. LOL! With lots of love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵
Hey Suzi, I live in AZ too. Hello.
Hear you on that note. Bacon is lucky to make to the table with my eggs...
Geez! You guys the who make comments about how you make this stew. Preppy teaches, demonstrates and he does a great job. This stew is excellent! The booze added is wonderful!
I live in Ireland, I thought I knew everything there is to know about potatoes but those potatoes I have never seen before 😂🤣🤩
Purple potatoes! Love those, I swear they have their own flavor!
I made this without the brandy & wine. It was DELICIOUS!!!! Mouth watering!!!! Next time I’m add celery!!!
Please do a 101 basic cooking recipes!! It’ll be so fun and helpful 🥺
Barbara Ymaña Gonzales del Valle yessss!!

I found your channel by coincidence! I'm learning western cooking techniques, these family food practices help me a lot !

He is very funny and so darn cute!!
Ahh love the little tweaks 🍋🥓🍷 Will definitely try this on a rainy spring night.
I LOVE Chuck Roast, I cube it for kebobs and stew. So SO much better than store bought stew meat
Looks super yum! I have watched quite a few recipes of Beef stew but you make it look so simple to make. Will definitely give it a try.
I'm going to make this, but I will definitely toss the beef in flour before cooking,and as it will help to thicken the sauce and make it less like soup broth. I don't think I'll do the lemon at the end either. I'm looking forward to making this.
Love! What if you’re not 21 and can’t get wine? What else could you use instead
I am so glad I discovered you. I love your energy and great spirt and you are always smiling!!! and of course, fabulous recipes!!
You are right... an easy recipe and wow sooo good! My husband said it was delicous!!
I’ve tried a lot of different recipes but none come close to this one! I always come back to your channel. Haha ❤
I would have carmelized the onions a bit more (before adding the Brandy) until they were a rich golden brown. Time wise I would have started the onions before seasoning the meat. 💜🌞🌵

OMG best beef stew recipe I have ever made Ive tried many and hated them all until now. Im buyi g your cookbook.
Oh I'm definitely gonna be making this now that its cold outside!!!😊
Another great recipe 😊love the touch of brandy as well ❤😊 thank you for sharing 😊

I personally enjoy a little thickness in my stew so a little flour in the beginning or a corn starch slurry at the end. Some green peas are yummy too!
Your chuck roast had nice marbling. So much better than beef stew meat that you can buy precut. Thanks for the tip. But they are usually square not round like that.
I love your cooking . I have tried some of your recipes and turned out really nice. Keep up the good work 👏👏😊

You always make me smile. Thank you! Also, I cracked up that you mis-read two tablespoons of brandy as 1/2 cup. 🤣
Bold of you to assume it was a mistake
@@nyxh.7567 Ha - good point! 🤣
I also have a mushroom "won't eater." Sometimes I cook some for me on the side, in butter, and add when serving. Sometimes I am selfish and add them and "the other half" can pick around them.
Thanks for your joyous cooking demonstrations. It looks delicious. I think I would add some turnips because the more veggies the better.
I like you and the way you cook. I'm subscribing.That's nice.
I love your recipes!!! Please post more beef recipes ❤️❤️❤️ huge fan
Does he have a lemon tree for the amount of lemons he use in recipes. And I do love lemons but never tried in stew.....
Thanks Sir for sharing the recipe of beef curry cooking delicious
Some redbean ..i preferred to add to that stew,for mushroom i chose portobello for other variation😋thanks Preppy kitchen 4 shared this recipe.. Cheers from eastjakarta Indonesia🍜👍
If you don't mind me asking do you run ads for your Channel?
Lovely , you are one of my fave, you tube chefs.🥰
Love stew...thank you Tracey from Austin Texas
Looks so heart warming lay delicious, does your husband cooks as well as you do? He’s lucky.....
I’m definitely making this !! Looks great!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
tried it today.. you know how to cook.
It’s 11pm in Australia. I shouldn’t be eating but now I’ll feel the need to.
It’s coming into Autumn here in Australia so I would add dumplings 😀

totally going to use this for a meal prep. it looks really tasty.
It looks Divine!!!
Did I miss it, or did you not skim the fat from the soup?
Thank you
I love beef stew ..thank you so much.
Best way to cut onions is very cold they release less oil/smell and don't make your eyes water quite as much
I love how you tossed the meat. Made my day
When you have the time, look for a "Valdiviano"... that´s an amazing stew.
You have just succeeded in making me very hungry (again) 😋
Wow. I’ve never been totally happy with my beef stew. I think this might fill the bill!
I'd think if you wanted to really thicken this stew up, you could make a roux to mix in prior to all the wets. Maybe even brown the butter and then the flour a bit to darken the roux slightly so it won't lighten the color of the stew.
Definitely mushrooms. I would also add frozen peas, but only in the last 15 minutes of cooking so they don't get too mushy.
It looks super good.. but it doesn’t look like stew. It looks like soup. I love your videos though! Whenever I’m having a bad day, I turn your videos on and you make me feel better. Thank you!
Was there any skimming of fat in dutch oven? Beautiful recipe
Not too sure about the brandywine thing but I'll try it; looks delicious
Looks so good I can't wait to try this and your so great at making it look easy to cook thank you.
You made me so hungry 😋😋😋 I want to make this now

This looks great. Did you make a Buerre manie at any point to thicken the stew?
