  • Hey, dudes, I'm highlight.

  • And today, on highly cooking, I'm making vegetable beef stew.

  • Is that a cold front blowing in?

  • It's getting kind of stormy and overcast.

  • And I was like, What am I gonna stew?

  • And then I was like, Oh, yeah, I have some vegetables and beef.

  • I'll do that first step, we're gonna season our meat.

  • I've got about £2 of beef.

  • Chuck here, Chuck is really good.

  • But really anything you want to use, something kind of respect in expensive is good because we're gonna be cooking us for a long time.

  • So it'll get nice and tender no matter what, even if it's kind of gross and grisly.

  • All right, And then this is just some salt, pepper, paprika and some regular old flower.

  • If you are going gluten free, then you don't have to use the flower.

  • It just keep gives it like a thicker, more gravy like stew, consistency at the end.

  • But you could skip it where maybe use, um, corn starch or some arrowroot powder instead, just kind of tossed us around.

  • Use your hands.

  • If you need tails, we're gonna put about a table spin of you guessed it Mama's favorite bacon fat.

  • If you don't have a Dr Bacon fat shame on you.

  • But also, you could just use some vegetable oil or olive oil.

  • Basically, the point is we need to brown this meat because brown food tastes better.

  • Okay, When you're browning meat like this, if you crowd the pan, then you just end up steaming the meat.

  • And it doesn't get nice and charred and feared.

  • So we'll probably just do this like it's a single layer.

  • And, you know, we're not trying to cook it through.

  • We're just trying to get some color on it.

  • 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Her batch just kind of let it sit there for about a minute and then stir it around.

  • Okay, so this is all brown excellence.

  • I've just been transferring it into this bowl as it's brown.

  • There is so much good stuff happening down here.

  • I'm going to take the last of my share.

  • This is probably just about two tablespoons.

  • So use that liquid.

  • You see, this all starts boiling off.

  • That's great.

  • This is called the Bond, I believe nowhere that I ever used.

  • But in case you care about vocabulary, all that stuff stuck to the bottom of the pan has a name.

  • All right, Nayman add my aromatic vegetables And this is carrots, celery and onions that I've cut into pretty pretty big chunks when I do is do I like to cut the vegetables into slightly smaller than bite size so that when you get a spoonful, you can have multiple things in one bite?

  • We're just gonna let these get a little bit softened briefly, and then I'm gonna add I've got some potato and turn it So the potato is here.

  • It's kind of like this off white, and then the turnip is this pure, pure, pure white.

  • If you've never eaten a turn it before, this is what they look like when you buy them in the store.

  • They are related Thio the brass ako.

  • So like cabbage and rutabaga, they have kind of a cabbage e flavor.

  • Kind of a slightly bitter, um, really similar to rutabaga.

  • Have you ever had a room?

  • Bigger.

  • But if you haven't had a turnover, you probably haven't had a root of doing it, but cavity flavor.

  • I don't know.

  • Some people, they're really, really bitter, so you might just have to try him sometime and find out it's a genetic thing, Um, that they to me, they're kind of sweet.

  • They have a lot less carbs than potatoes.

  • So if you're trying to, like, stay low carb, then turnips are a good substitute in lots of students.

  • If you don't turn up, I've got a one.

  • Turn up one potato here.

  • If you don't want to use turnips, though, you can just use more potato.

  • That's totally fine with me.

  • And I left the skin on the turn up because it's kind of it's a tender, edible skin and eye peeled the potato.

  • I don't know.

  • It's just personal preference to me.

  • Russet potato skins are kind of card and gross, so I feel that I'm not sorry about it.

  • All right, so that's great.

  • When I go ahead and add does in and add in our ground meat and all of the juices that have come out of there awesome and then a whole boatload of garlic.

  • Sorry for yelling.

  • Our stash is herbs, those bay leaf and some time and some oregano.

  • No, some time and some tearing.

  • I'm sorry.

  • Okay, Now for the liquids, I've got a court of store bought beef broth.

  • You can use water if you don't have beef broth, but obviously you're gonna get a richer flavor.

  • If you do all beef broth, who and then I've got two cups of a homemade beef stock.

  • The difference between stock and broth is that stock is made from bones and bosses made from meet another thing.

  • So this is like super rich has got a ton of, like, collagen and delicious beef fat in it.

  • So now I just got this over high heat.

  • I'm gonna bring it up to a boil on that.

  • I'm gonna turn it down and let it simmer for at least in our up to two hours just until everything's nice and tender and delicious.

  • So Okay, so it's been just over an hour.

  • You can see how much this has reduced its got really thick.

  • The vegetables are tender.

  • The meat is tender at a cup of green beans.

  • If you want to use frozen green beans, that'll work, too, and stir those in turn this way a little bit to get good summer going and let this cook for about 15 minutes.

  • Well, they're tender already.

  • D'oh!
