Chuck roast - "Beef Stew" !
Dec 2, 2018 06:25:58 #
It looks extra yummy! I always shake my beef chunks in seasoned flour before browning, the go on with the stew making. That way it thickens the gravy as it simmers on my stove. Occasionally, I do use the crock pot.I always like reading your recipes and the accompanying photos! Now I'm craving beef stew.........

Love pot roast/stew. So much flavor! Yours looks delicious.
You might also want to try using some 'Beef Consomme' in place of the beef broth....which imparts a nice flavor.

I like the add of the coconut oil....I will have to try that!
A little soy (1-2 tablespoons) would also add some umami.

Sounds good, I will try it, but probably in a crock pot. I like stew, Knotts Berry Farm's restaurant used to serve '49er Beef Stew, maybe they still do, it was great-but expensive like all food at the parks.
Welcome, Robert Jet! Pressure Cookers are the best stove pots to use when your meat takes hours to cook. Tough meats to cook are: beef shank, lamb shank, chuck shank, veal shank etc. These meats are tough and take a longer time to cook.
If your a crock pot user it will take 4-5 times the length of time to cook or more. I place my pressure cooker on high but lower the heat to low and the valve goes down. I let it cook 45 minutes. AP

Good to hear from you, Roxie Marty! I love reading other menus and how those cooks prepare their food! Cooking can be very exciting! Plan your cooking before you start, your recipe will work out just fine! Take your time and be creative! AP

I Love using soy sauce. Your going to enjoy cooking with coconut oil, it cooks at a high temp without burning! Wonderful response, Thank You . . . AP

I can taste and smell your stew, AP. Nice photo. How long do you think your stew would take without the pressure cooker- 2 or 2.5 hours?

My wife does have a pressure cooker but we have about 5 slow cooker/croak pots in different sizes/types (the biggest is oval and will hold a 10 or 12 pound turkey) and got used to using them when we were both still working. Set it up and when we got home it was done. Now I often load it before bed time and let it go over night. I make a home made chili that our family and friends love. After dinner I start the beans, tomatoes, spices etc in the crock pot on high and then I saute/brown the meat, onions etc and add them to the pot and leave it on medium for 2-3 hours until bedtime then leave it on low over night and add the Kidney beans for about 20-30 minutes and it is done. (Kidney beans turn to mush if cooked as long as the pinto/chili beans.)

AP, I wish you lived next door so I could come over and smell your cooking (and maybe even eat it, too!). You make me hungry! I need to try coconut oil. It's not something I ever thought to use. Thanks for posting! Have a great (and delicious) holiday!

I Love your positive comment, "Beef Consomme"! All those spices, 1/2 C Chardinnay, it was tasty! AP

what do you use to thicken the "juice"..there's nothing worse than a fluid stew.
Hi, Dancers! I use a good heavy table spoon of homemade rice flour (no gluten) and a good sprinkle of turmeric mixed with Vermouth, about 4oz! Drible only a little into liquid, mix well into meat and veggies! AP

So nice to hear from you, Audrey! I've been using coconut oil for a little over 1 1/2 years, it does take a much higher temp without burning. It is better for your body then a high grade Olive Oil. It is neutral in its flavor, the coconut taste does not rub off onto the food leaving any coconut taste!
The cold winter months offer a differnt variety of pleasant food! CIAO, AP

Welcome, Debbie Wrazen! You mention wonderful words that bring fragrance and a BIG smile to my face! Without using a pressure cooker, the time to cook your dinner would be at least doubled! I started cooking the seasoned meat first. Browning the seasoned meat in coconut oil first both sides, 13-15 minutes each side, add a 15.5oz can of beef stock cover the pot and cook on high 45 minutes.
After 45 min. release pressure and add veggies 2-med yellow potatoes, 4-med carrots, 2-celery stocks, 1-med red onion. Cut all veggies coarsely. Add a can of chicken stock. Cover bring to a boil lower temp cook 45 min. AP
