Beef stew


Beef stew, originally uploaded by aznkey.

A soup/stew that mom use to make. Usually made with oxtail but that is hard to find/expensive around here. So i substitute it with some chuck roast. A simple hearty soup.
in parts
1celery
1 carrot
1 onion
2 potatos
5 chuck roast
2 tomato
1/2 can small tomato paste
4 cabbage
Cut the beef into 2 inch cubes and sear all sides in a large pot. Add everything else and fill with enough water to cover+a inch or 2. SImmer of 1.5 hours. Occassionally skim the scum of the top. Add salt or fish sauce to taste. Great with rice.

The oxtail version used to be my favorite soup...until I was converted (against my will) to a vegetarian.

Recommendation from my mom...add 2 bay leaves. It gives that great aroma and flavorful taste. Short ribs cubes are good too.

Oh, and it is better the second or third day (in the refrigerator). Thicker and more flavorful.
