when i make my Beef stew ....
i cook everything separately first...
carrots: i cook in water with lots of brown sugar in it
so they taste sweet .... later on...
the meat: i barely stir fry to seal all sides
and that's it... it'll cook the rest of the way
in the stew and stay real tender...
potatoes: have the the starch skimmed off
several times... when boiled, afterwords they
are stir fried just enough to add some flavor..
s h i take mushrooms half stemmed and cut in half
stir fried in butter... mmmm
thicken up with a little whole wheat flour
and add your other veggies of choice...
just a few culinary tips for ya...
today's a perfect stew day !!
40 degrees with high pressure
brrrr
