Chestnut mushrooms and mushroom Ketchup realy make a beef dish.

If you using beer I can definately recomend spitfire it is my ale of choice when making a steak and ale pie.

In the olden days they used to put in a few Oysters into their beef stew. surprisingly they works very well together.

Looks like that kid is trying to escape, he knows what's coming next and he wants no part of it: my mother is a bloody placenta eater, well that's just fantastic :mad:

and some red wine,chopped tates,carrots,leeks,sweed,onions some whole mustard and 5spices,let it slow cook for 24hrs and server with crusty bread.

ale and baby pickled onions.. it works so well

and get rid of gravy granules. Use stock or stock cube.

And don't forget herb and cheese dumplings. Guarenteed to liven up any stew.

TBH it sounds liek you make eh same stew every time. google recipes and try some different flavours. Literally 10's of thousands of stews out here to make.

I usually make stew in a pressure cooker, it works really well and the meat is always very tender and moist.

jp_bl_68 · 6 Oct 2009 at 14:59

It's just gone in the oven. Potatoes, carrots, leaks, celery, fresh thyme, fresh bay, a pinch of cumin, half a chicken stock cube, a splash of Worcestershire, a bottle of Spitfire and I'll add some mushrooms later on. It smells good. Fingers crossed.

No placenta?
