  • Today we're making Italian beef stew. This flavorful stew combines beef chuck, veggies, mushrooms, red wine, and herbs. Serve it with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, noodles, or my personal favorite polenta. I hope you enjoy this Italian beef stew recipe!

    So I just found this channel, love it! I watch Babish, Sam the Cooking Guy, Joshua Weissman, etc but something about your delivery feels like I got a chef buddy teaching me that I can make these delicious meals with ease.
    Nothing feels intimidating, keep it up... I see a million+ subs coming your way soon.

      Thanks very much! I don't script anything, so that might explain the difference from other channels. I know Sam the Cooking Guy isn't scripting either, but I think most channels do, since they have production teams and want to create efficiencies. Scripting makes for much faster editing because you are essentially "shooting for the edit". I have a lot of footage (often 50 minutes) that needs to be cut down to a 8-10 minute video, but that allows me to talk more casual I guess. Sorry for getting into the weeds there, lol. Anyway, thanks for the compliment.

      I like watching the Townsend channel, then this one, just for that contrast of old and new cooking methods of famous winter dishes, such as beef stew. With the exception of the wine -- and use of electricity -- things like beef stew really don't change much, which is good in these fairly trying times. And I am looking for ways to help myself eat healthier. Reduce the canned soup consumption (and ergo, the excess sodium) and increase the vitamin intake, to say nothing of increased hygge (comfort) vibes. 😁

She couldn't walk fast so we would often arrive to a fretful mum. Wine drinking was for the posh or foreign when I was growing up.

    I like that you say the measurements in logical amounts: “2 stalks of celery & 3 medium carrots” instead of the equivalent cup measure….MUCH more “real” that way. And the seasoning is more like I do it too! The EYEBALL method! Also I liked how you went ahead and used a less than optimal onion. Real world family kitchens don’t always have the freshest veggies. We use what we have. And I’m guessing it’s the same in Italy too. I can’t afford to throw out usable food just because it’s past it’s peak! Nor can I necessarily go out & shop for fresh veggies every time I cook. Maybe others can. Lucky them.

Skip the sear step on the beef and add a sear/browning step to the MUSHROOMS, then pull them and put aside & mix back in to the celery/carrot/onions after they are sweated. The mushrooms will boost the umami flavor in the dish tremendously. give it a try sometime.

    As a chef myself, I prefer the better than bullion at home. This saves on space, I don't need to have chicken, beef, and fish stocks on hand. Instead of using water though I do make a veggie stock and I don't add salt, just all the bullion paste to that.

    Loved watching this one too. I LOVE beef stew. I've never had it with Polenta before so will need to substitute that instead of the mashed potatoes. Its great that you have your son help with taste testing and he always seems very willing to; that's wonderful. I'll need to start one of these savory dishes this week while my sister is visiting from Austin.

    First time viewer and I so agree with everyone else who says you’re like a chef friend teaching us how to prepare a recipe! You’re like the perfect blend of knowledgeable and confident, and unassuming. Like, I love how you describe the consistency we should look for and salt to weight ratios, but then you’ll say things like “use whatever red you want” or “this is my rough chop but if you want it thicker then cut it thicker”. So friendly and comforting 😊

  • @Aurion254
    @Aurion254 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Got to love a good beef stew! If you flour your beef before frying it, it will help to thicken the stew while it's in the oven and it will cook out any floury flavour, which can sometimes be a problem with adding cornstarch at the end to thicken it. A tbsp of tomato puree (paste) also works as a thickening agent and will add a slight sweetness as long as it is cooked long enough (again, don't add it at the end - it will make the stew taste bitter).

    It's in the oven as we speak. I'm trying the "just toss in the meat" technique without browning to see how it goes. Found some of that Oregano at an Italian deli/market in a nearby town I picked up some nice housemade papardelle so that's what it's going over.

This recipe changed that for me completely, so much depth of flavor with this. Went with egg noodles but definitely doing polenta next time. 10/10

    I made this tonight and it was amazing, thanks for the recipe!! Also, is there any difference in using white wine vs red wine in these recipes?

    • @SipandFeast
      @SipandFeast  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you enjoyed it. I prefer red wine (deeper flavor) with beef and use white for most of my other recipes. Both would work well in this one though.

    • @arthas640
      @arthas640 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A good rule of thumb is to use red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat. That's just a rule of thumb though and you can use whatever you want. Typically you want red white with more strongly flavored dishes since its got a deeper more complex flavor but white wine is better if you want the ingredients to shine through, which is why more delicate dishes like fish typically uses white wines whereas beef stews typically use red. Color also plays a factor, you probably dont want a pink pasta dish so white works better.

  • @phillyguy8541
    @phillyguy8541 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Be careful of adding dehydrated mushrooms to anything without re-hydrating them first. Often they may be gritty and if you re-hydrate you will notice the grit at the bottom of the vessel. If you add them without re-hydrating you might get the grit into the stew or whatever.

    Hey Jim, it’s interesting that you need to continually reinforce that recipes are just a guide or a road map and there is generally no need to follow them with a scientific degree of precision (unless of course you are baking). That’s probably a good thing - it shows that newer cooks are learning and experimenting. Keep up the good work. Also, I’m curious - is there a backstory to the aversion to the word “fond” ?
