Beef stew with vegetables

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to stew beef with vegetables? Prepare the ingredients. Wash the beef shank, dry it and chop it into large pieces. You can take a whole shank. I used already prepared parts. Of these, 1.5 kg of boneless meat and 500 g of osso bucco with bone. For this dish, it is better to choose shanks, since during the stewing process the meat from them is better cooked. But you can buy any part of the carcass to suit your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the vegetables well. Peel the carrots, onions and garlic. Cut celery, onion and carrots into small pieces. Cut the garlic in half.

3. STEP 3

   

   Transfer the prepared vegetables to a blender and grind into a homogeneous puree.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the smoked meats into small pieces. I took 100 g of raw smoked bacon and 100 g of boiled smoked pork neck. You can do without smoked meats, but with them the dish will taste more interesting and more aromatic.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat olive oil in a frying pan and fry the meat over high heat until golden brown. I note that at this stage we do not cook the meat, but simply fry it on top, thereby sealing all the juices inside. This well-known culinary technique makes the finished meat juicy.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place vegetable puree in a deep saucepan, add tomato paste, smoked meats, salt and pepper.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour 200 ml of hot water into the pan and bring the vegetable puree to a boil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the meat in the pan, pour in the remaining hot water so that it covers the meat almost completely, as shown in the photo. In this case, it may take a little more or a little less water - be guided by your ingredients.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for about 2.5 hours, turning the meat occasionally. Serve the finished stew with vegetables as a separate dish or with your favorite side dish. Bon appetit!

I planned to make this dish; I just had smoked brisket and frozen shank. I came home and the brisket was spoiled. Since the recipe recommended using any smoked meats, I added chopped meat sausage and a little smoked pork ear. This dish is incredible!!! The smell throughout the entire apartment is mind-blowing, the shank itself is soft and very tasty, and the smoked sauce goes perfectly with any side dish! I even ran out of shank, and the liquid was left with smoked meats. I boiled the rice, added the sauce, stirred, and it turned out something like jambalaya. Thanks to the author! This is a very original recipe!! And exactly the kind of recipe where originality is not the main advantage, but taste!
