Firehouse Recipe of the Week: Good for the Belly Beef Stew

8 Comments

Good for the Belly Beef Stew

Courtesy of Portland Fire & Rescue's Carol Boucher, Management Analyst

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs lean stew meat, cubed
  • 14.5 oz can low sodium tomatoes, liquid included
  • 10 oz. low-sodium beef both
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp marjoram
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry red table wine (substitute red cooking wine)
  • 2 cups peeled potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced
  • 3 small onions, quartered
  • 1 cup fresh green beans (substitute frozen)
  • 2 TBSP arrowroot, mixed into a slurry with an equal amount of water

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 325. 
  2. Preheat a heavy pan and brown beef cubes on all sides. 
  3. Transfer meat to a Dutch Oven along with tomatoes, broth and wine. 
  4. Season with garlic powder, marjoram and pepper and bring to boil, stirring frequently. 
  5. Add potatoes, celery, carrots and onions and season to taste with freshly ground pepper. 
  6. Mix well, cover and bake in preheated oven, stirring occasionally. 
  7. After 1 hour, stir in green beans, replace cover and continue baking an additional hour or until meat is tender. 
  8. Just before serving, stir in arrowroot mixture and heat on stovetop, stirring, until sauce is thickened.

Alternatives:

  • Dice one of the onions and toss it in with the meat when it's browning, or Shred small amount of carrot, celery, onion and garlic, and sauté in pan then add meat for browning.
  • Use one (1) each russet, yukon gold, and red potato to make a better flavor and texture.
  • Use two (2) cups of baby carrots instead of the sliced medium carrots for more texture. 
  • Add one (1) cup each frozen corn and peas with the green beans.  It makes the carb count higher - but it improves the appearance, texture and flavor of the stew.
  • If cost is an issue use cornstarch instead of Arrowroot to thicken the sauce.  Arrowroot is expensive but worth the added flavor if you can afford it.

I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy. I have my baby august 2017. to get pregnant at age 35 with my 2nd child in september 2019, thank you sir , this is his email contact if you require his help oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com whatsapp +2348136482342

Today has been the happiest day of my life after 6 months of sadness and sorrow without being with the one I love. I tried all my possible best to make sure I make my husband happy but it never seems to work out well, it was like I’m doing everything in vain but all thanks to Dr Omokpo for coming to change all my worries and sadness to Joy. I knew this great man when I read some wonderful reviews about him on how he has helped a lot of people on their relationship problems, i was reading a magazine which then I saw great testimonies on how he has helped some women to reunite their homes and husbands. so I decided not to waste time and I contacted him via: his email and he told me not to worry. He assured me that within 63 hours everything would be sorted out, i believed so much because I believe he can’t fail me and I sent him all my details. Truly he never failed me, my husband who left me for good 6 years came back to me apologizing and asking for forgiveness. Since then, My husband and I have been living happily, reunited with his love spells. Thank you so much for your powerful spells. My expressions are not sufficient to say thank you. His email address: (DROMOKPO@GAMIL.COM) in-case you have any problems or health issues and I believe he will surely solve yours just the way he solved mine.
His WhatsApp number: +2348065941096
