So, if you want to have your guests’ mouth’s watering then follow these next few simple steps and success will be yours!
First are the ingredients and cooking utensils you need to create this wonderful stew. The
necessary ingredients are as follows. Six potatoes, two and half pounds of cubed sirloin beef,three carrots, two stalks of celery, two cloves of garlic, six cubs of beef stock, a bottle of red wine, two and half cups of flour (you may need more; this will be explained later on), and a cup and half of milk. All of the above ingredients can be found at your local grocery store.
The utensils are pretty simple. They are a large cooking pot (for cooking the stew), a good kitchen knife, a cutting board, a ladle, a kitchen chopper, and a bowl and spoon to eat the scrumptious stew.
Next, is the important step of preparing the ingredients to be cooked. The first step is to cut
the potatoes, carrots, and celery. Take the cutting board and kitchen knife and slice the potatoes into medium sized cubes. You can do this by cutting the potato in half and then cutting
lengthwise and then cutting in the opposite direction. Cut the carrots into small circular
discs. This can be done by slicing the carrots widthwise. Finally, cut the two
stalks of celery in the same manner as the carrots.
Following cutting the potatoes, carrots and celery is, preparing the beef and garlic. Take the
cubed sirloin beef and put it on a plate of good size. Then take the cup of flour mentioned in the
ingredients list, and cover the beef in it. A note here is, you might need more than one cup of
flour. Just remember you want just enough flour so that all of the beef is covered in it. After
covering the sirloin beef in flower put it in a cooking pan on the stove top. Turn to medium heat,
although this not necessary, just recommended. Next, take the bottle of red wine and add it to the
beef cooking on the stove top (don’t drown the beef in the wine just add enough to sauté it).
Sauté it until the beef is brown and then turn off the stove. After sautéing the beef, you need
to crush the garlic. You can do this by either crushing it with the kitchen knife, or the
more preferable method of using the kitchen chopper.
Finally take a large pot and fill it three quarters of the way up. Put it on the stove top and turn
on medium heat and add the six cubes of beef stock (you may need more, just taste it after
they’ve desovled to see if it needs more flavor). Add the ingredients into the pot.
After preparing the ingredients comes the final step of cooking. Cook at medium heat for
about twenty five minutes and then for another twenty minutes on medium low. Make sure
to stir contents every ten minutes. Once this is done let it simmer for about ten minutes. The final
step is to add flour and milk to thicken it (unless you don’t want it to be thick). Take about a cup
and half of flour and milk and add these contents together into a bowl. Then pour into stew and
stir until it’s thick!
A good self test on how to know if it’s done is to test the meat and potatoes. If the beef pretty
much melts in your mouth and the potatoes aren't hard when eaten; then it’s safe to say it’s done.
Also, it’s recommended that you perform the self test between thirty to forty minutes
as you don’t want the stew to be overcooked.
So I have now given you the steps necessary to make my Lozier’s Beef Stew and if
you decide to make it your guests’ mouth’s will be watering and it’ll be an instant hit.
Hope you enjoy it, and good luck on cooking it!
