Directions
Mahogany Beef Stew,You will not believe the deeply satisfying flavour of this stew. This is our favourite wintry stew dish – comfort food to the max. The cooking time is more or less accurate, but it really depends on the cut of meat used – not everyone used chuck, and then, not all chuck is the same! You really have to poke and prod and taste to get it to where you want it…but that’s what cooking is all about, isn’t it? ;-),I made this in the crock pot as suggested by another reviewer. I did saute the meat and the onions first in a medium skillet and season with salt and pepper while browning. Then I poured them into a 6 quart crock pot that had been sprayed with a cooking spray. I added the 1 cup of wine, the can of diced tomatoes with juices, garlic, herbs, hoisin sauce, and bay leaves to the skillet. Brought this to a boil to deglaze the skillet and cook out the booze in the wine and boiled it for about 3 minutes. oh – I only used 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce as it is very sweet. Then I poured this into the crock pot, added the carrots and cooked it with the lid closed for 6 hours. I increased the heat to high and poured in the cornstarch slurry and thickened the gravy by cooking it for another 30 minutes. Served it over mashed potatoes. Yum!!! Since there is only me – I cut everything in half and still had enough to freeze in freezer bags for two more dinners.,Season the meat with salt and pepper before browning. Waiting until the end as described in this recipe does not give enough flavor to the meat.
