Mom's Portuguese Beef Stew

This is a favorite home meal from my mom. My sister had to write while my mom cooked in order to get the recipe right. It's easy and will impress anyone. Serve steaming hot on a bed of white rice.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into cubes

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 carrot, chopped

  • 1 pinch paprika

  • ½ fresh tomato, chopped

  • 1 cup white wine

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley

  • 3 red potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Dust the beef with the flour. Place the beef, garlic, bay leaves, and pepper in the stockpot; cook until the beef is brown; season with salt and cook until beef is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, green pepper, carrot, and paprika; cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato, wine, water, and parsley. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30 minutes.

  2. Mix in the red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans; continue to cook until potatoes are easily pierced through with a fork, about 45 minutes.

Slow Cooker 5-Mushroom Barley Soup

Slow Cooker 5-Mushroom Barley Soup

This hearty version of an American classic soup is inspired by 'Chef Jakey' of the long-gone 'Steak Pub' in 1970's Monticello, NY. Long ago, I lived and worked in the upstate New York resort town of Monticello. As an electrical contractor, one of my clients was an upscale restaurant called 'The Steak Pub.' They had an Asian head chef named 'Jakey.' During winter months when business was slow, we spent hours doing electrical upgrades. Inevitably, we would be there at lunch time, and Jakey would invite us to his specialty, Mushroom Barley Soup, with hot sourdough. The addition of the cream of mushroom soup gives a creamier end result. Serve hot with sourdough or other fine bread, or garlic rounds.
