ProTip: depending on the quality of the beef, you may find it tough – especially if you were like me and used pre-frozen beef thawed out. A trick I’ve used for years, to get that restaurant quality super-tender beef is to knead the beef with baking soda prior to cooking. throw in 6-7 tablespoons of baking soda and mix with the beef chunks – let sit for 15-20 minutes and rinse well. the end result is incredible!
Hi there I was just wondering what kind of beef broth you used ? I have knorr powdered and beef bullion cubes. Or should I go out and get the liquid kind like Campbell’s ??? Your stew looks so good I can’t wait to make it. It’s cold here in Canada 🙂
I have mostly liquid broth, but I am sure the bullion cubes would be just fine. Use the cubes or powder make the liquid broth and just go from there 🙂 I hope that helps. Stay warm!
Hi, getting 4-8 inches of snow in NH today and we are making this!! Thanks so much!!!
My daughter and I enjoyed this hearty and flavorful stew. I didn’t find any of the steps you outlined difficult or made it spicy/salty. It was perfectly balanced. ‘d make it again!
This recipe was fantabulous!!! 🙂 I have made this twice before and all my cousins loved it. Yesterday my hubbie came home with fresh raccoon and when i was boiling the coon to get the skin off the cousins stopped by for a visit so i decided to make them some more stew. We were out of beef so i subed out the beef for fresh coon meat…. this time around they loved it even more then before so i recommend using fresh coon when you have it around.
