Let’s learn how to prepare a classic international dish: the beef stew, a traditional, tasty main course which needs quite a long cooking time.
***
Hi all of you friends and welcome to the giallozafferano kitchen. Today we’ll be preparing together the beef stew: this cheap meat main course has quite a long cooking time, but your whole family will like it. Let’s see together what ingredients we’ll need:
• 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tbsp of flour
• 2 stalks of celery
• 1 carrot / 1 onion
• 2,2 lbs (1 kg) of beef • pepper / salt
• 1 oz (30 g) of butter
• 1 glass of red wine
• 2 pints (1 lt) of meat broth
Let’s prepare the beef stew:
First of all, finely chop the celery, the carrot and the onion, then brown them in a pan with melted butter and oil. Brown on a very low flame for about 10 minutes.
10 min. — low heat
While the mirepoix is cooking, we can move on to the meat; remove any excess fat or gristle and, if they’re quite big pieces, cut them into smaller cubes. After that, dip them in flour.
Now add the floured pieces of meat to the sautéed vegetables… and stir constantly for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
15-20 min. — high heat
When the beef is well browned… add a glass of red wine and let it evaporate.
Now add enough broth to cover all the meat… after that, let it simmer on a very low flame for an hour and a half – 2 hours with the lid on, leaving a small opening.
90-120 min. — low heat
Once the meat is nice and tender and the gravy quite thick, the beef stew is ready to be served, perhaps accompanied by a lovely potato puree as a side dish. From Sonia and Giallozafferano, bye and see you next video recipe.

i am love Sonia
thank you! Sonia for sharing this recipe..
@ualuuanie Put onions, carrots and celery in a pot filled with cold water
(you can add also bay leaves, pepper grains, juniper) together with pieces
of beef and bones, add salt and bring slowly to a boil, then let it simmer
for 2-3 hours. After that, remove the vegetables and the meat and use the
broth as you like!
@yellowsaffron Thanks is it the same type of beef or do you use other types
of beef for the broth?
No herbs or spices?
Very nice. Stew comes in so many varieties. I use left over steak and red
wine in my one hour recipe. Hope you’ll take a look sometime. Thanks for
passing on this great idea!
No, use beef broth
thats more like Irish stew… I like to add all kinds of root vegetables,
swede, turnip, parsnip, potatoes etc.
Mmmmm….I’m hungry!
@BrianaBerries There are 2 dollar wines that even the most experienced wine
drinkers can’t tell apart from expensive ones. People who pay for expensive
wines are morons.
@yellowsaffron perfect! you teach me from A to Z, really appreciate that!

You can add rosemary or bay leaves, if you like
