Answer 2

In a large pot (or dutch oven), add some olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. On medium heat, evenly brown about 2-3 pounds of beef stew meat, along with 2 medium diced cooking onions and 6 cloves of minced garlic.

Once meat has browned, add 5 cups of hot water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2-3 dashes of salt, and fresh ground pepper to taste. Cover and reduce heat to lowest setting. Simmer for 2 hours.

Then, add chunks of peeled potatoes and carrots. Increase heat to medium low and cover again for about 1 hour until carrots & potatoes are soft to the fork.

In a small container, blend 3 heaping tablespoons of flour with about 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover container and shake until flour is completely disolved. Mixture should be thick -- add a little more flour if it's not.

Remove cover to stew. SLOWLY, pour in flour mixture and stir well. This will thicken the stew to the right consistency. You must pour slowly and stir often. Once stew is thick, give it a whisker more heat and serve.

Answer 6

Ajiaco (Potato, Corn, and Chicken Stew):

Cubed Yukon gold potatoes provide color, while grated russets gently release their starch to make this traditional Columbian dish velvety without added cream. Use the small holes on a box grater for the russet potatoes; if you shred them coarsely, they won't dissolve into the broth.

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
12 chicken thighs (about 3 pounds), skinned
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrot
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 1/2 cups finely shredded peeled baking potato
2 1/2 cups cubed peeled Yukon gold potato (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove chicken from pan. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and chicken. Remove from pan; cover and keep warm.

Add onion and carrot to pan; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in broth, corn, oregano, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Stir in baking potato and chicken; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently to keep potato from sticking to pan. Add cubed potato; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the cilantro and remaining ingredients, and cook, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 thighs and 1 cup broth mixture)

Answer 7

Beef Stew

about 3 lbs of beef stew meat
carrots
potatoes
mushrooms
frozen peas and pearl onion mix
1 large onion
flour
beef boullion cubes
water
vegetable oil

Dredge beef in flour and add to hot oil in large pot. Only enough to layer the bottom of pan. Brown all sides of beef. Remove from pot and set aside. Finish rest of beef. Set aside. To drippings in pot add large onion chopped. Cook about two minutes. Add a little flour to pot and cook for another two minutes. Slowly add about 6 cups of water stirring constantly and then add about 6 beef boullion cubes. Then add meat back to pot and simmer for 2 hours. Add carrots and potatoes and cook for 1/2 hour. Then add mushrooms and frozen pea and pearl onion mix. Simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with whatever you like. I like dumplings with mine. And if its not thick enough for you you can always add a misture of corn starch and water to boiling stew. Good Luck!
