    Mary, Mary......
    I've made stew ever since a teenager, I love stew, in fact we had it last week. I live in Washington state so it's been cold for a while. Anyway, I have never used port and never served it over egg noodles, that sounds delicious to me. I wanted to tell you that last night I made your recipe for pork chops with onions and apples and your german potato salad..oh my, so delicious, all your subscribers need to make that. I didn't do the cabbage we had other veggies I needed to use up. There is only 2 of us and I made 3 chops, but since they were pretty thick we only had 1 and a half, there is plenty for a repeat for tonight. Again, really good. Love to you, Charlotte

    You blew my mind with the butter-flour ball trick! I will definitely try that next time. To thicken a stew, I would always put some milk and flour in a jar, shake vigorously then pour it through a small sieve into the stew and stir it in. But your method looks so much easier with less mess. And thank you for the tip about not using steak to make a stew because it will get tough. I never new that! I was actually going to do that tonight because the steak I got from my grocery store’s curbside pickup wasn’t marbled at all and I didn’t think it would be very good served as steak. I think I’ll marinate it and use it in a stir fry instead. Another great video, Mary. Thank you!

    I haven't made beef stew in years, but I feel inspired to do so now!
    BTW: we don't drink either, but I often cook with wine. I buy boxed wine that can remain on the counter or cabinet for months after having been broached. My favorite is Black Box's Merlot.

    Oh my goodness! I'm drooling over here. I'm going to make this, this way, this weekend. I usually just put all the ingredients in at once after I brown the meat and onions. And I like to add some chopped celery and a pinch of ground cloves. But cooking just the meat alone first is brilliant

    I always have a tub of butter/flour balls in my refrig. I take a pound of butter and add the equal amount of flower (or more), knead, roll into a saran wrap log like with cookies. Put them in the refrig for a day and take them out, cut into chunks and store. I use it in everything from stew, chili and pasta sauce. Especially if I've made it in the Instapot where it tends to get a little more liquid-y. Plop in a chunk or two after the cook, bring to a boil and watch it thicken up.

    When I cook a Pot Roast and have a little leftover, the next day I make Beef Stew out of it. If necessary I add more vegetables with it and canned tomatoes, water and beef bouillon cubes. My Mom and Grandmother made Beef Stew this way. They even used Stew Beef, so do I sometimes. Today, I use Beef Stock instead of water and bouillon cubes.

    MARY ! WOW, this is the first time I ever got the fall apart tender meat ! Thank you ! However, looks like there's a lot of fat surfacing. I don't think I want the extra butter ball. I got grass fed chuck and I took at least .50 lbs. of fat off. I wanted some fat for flavor but ... I'm trying to figure out what to do with it before I get rid of it.

  • @williamtrueman7898
    @williamtrueman7898 2 роки тому +1

    I learned if you peal a russet potato and cut it in large chunks and through it in with meat at the beginning. You can pull them out and mash them up and use it to thicken the stew. I recommend it as an alternative to using flour, for people with siliacs disease.

  • @mattneillninasmom
    @mattneillninasmom 2 роки тому +1

    ("meat juice" = "gravy") For me, gotta have fresh thyme, rosemary, maybe some sage. I think a small amount enhances the flavor of the stew and heightens the taste of the vegetables...I also began adding a couple of small parsnips - makes a nice variable. Also, recently discovered mushroom broth - delicious to mix in, since I don't use wine. Nice looking pot of stew, I like the colors and I also use "short cuts" like peeled baby carrots and small potatoes. I think cutting them in half first allows them to absorb more flavor. Your recipe also lends itself to chicken soup, another cold weather favorite!

    I like to slow cook this dish. Brown your beef and flour in oil, then add the vegetables and brown them a bit. Next add your liquids. Slow cook 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. It will be nice and thick from the flour and the chopped potatoes cooking along with it for hours.

    At the same time that I made your valentine chocolate cake today July 4, I also made your stew. It came out very good and it was a hit with my son’s family and my grandchildren. One son is gluten-free so I separated the meat and dipped it in coconut flour instead of the regular flour thatI used for the others. I wasn’t sure I really cared for the coconut flour so, in order to thicken it I used the arrowroot flour toward the end. The meat came out tender. I did it exactly the way you showed on your video. I printed the recipe off and will be repeating it on occasion. I could not get a printable recipe for the Valentine cake though. I appreciate your work and your sense of humour and your pleasant personality. Thank you so much. You are one of a kind. And I look forward to learning more from you

My husband couldn't find it in our grocery store, but I quickly and without issue, forgave him and substituted white wine vinegar and water ❤️) and this beef stew is *amazing!* Thank you so much, Mary. He is so satisfied and he works very hard and deserves every bite here at home to transport him to the heavens of flavor, lol! All our love and prayers for you and yours, always 💙

    Oh, how I could've used this video a couple days ago! It never crossed my mind to use a ball of floured butter to thicken it! I learned about that on a channel that often posts videos on colonial-era cooking. I am surprised, though, that you used pre-peeled carrots. I don't know if they use any chemicals in the processing of those carrots, but I had a Flemish Giant rabbit who wouldn't touch them, and I know people who's horses wouldn't eat them either, so I've stayed away from them.

    • @MarysNest
      @MarysNest  3 роки тому +1

      Wow - that is so interesting about the carrots. The ones I had were organic so I wonder if that makes a difference. But thanks for the heads up - I might not take that short cut anymore. Love, Mary

      @@MarysNest I don't remember if they were organic or not, but I figured if a 15 pound bunny rabbit won't eat a carrot, there must be something wrong! If you know someone with a rabbit or horse, try feeding it an organic pre-peeled carrot to see if they'll eat it. It would be a fun experiment!

    Mary (and friends),
    Do you have a suggestion for a GF flour for thickening? Or rather, a grain-free substitute?
    I’ve tried almond, cassava, millet, and buckwheat; none of them can touch good ol’ wheat flour or cornstarch.
    Is this a “it’s the best you can expect” situation? I don’t mind a runnier gravy if it’s the best I can do. Does that make sense?

    • @MarysNest
      @MarysNest  3 роки тому +1

      What a great question! I would go with the two tried and true gluten free thickeners - Arrowroot or Cornstarch (Cornflour). Arrowroot is your best bet if corn causes you any inflammatory problems. Just make sure when you buy either one that it is guaranteed to be gluten free and has not been processed in a factory that also processes gluten containing products. Love, Mary
