St. Patrick's Day Beef Stew with Guinness

St. Patrick's Day Beef Stew with Guinness by John Spottiswood

This is a great Beef Stew adapted from a recipe by Margaret Johnson. We doubled the recipe, used about half the butter, and added plenty of salt and black pepper. We also cooked it about 5 hours ahead of time and let it sit in the pot for another 3 hours after it was done cooking. It was awesome.

Slow-cooker Beef Stew from Argentina

Slow-cooker Beef Stew from Argentina by John Spottiswood

I slightly adapted thie famous Argentine beef stew to be slightly more flavorful...and thus to my liking. The extra cumin seeds, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper don't take away from the flavor of the meat and vegetables, but they give an added kick that makes this classic family stew extraordinary. We had it at our family reunion,…

Spicy Cuban Ropa Vieja

Spicy Cuban Ropa Vieja by John Spottiswood

I wanted to serve a slightly more flavorful version of Ropa Vieja, the classic cuban beef dish, over black beans and rice for a friends' pre-christmas dinner. I paired it with a pork stew and both were hugely popular. I used tri-tip and it shredded wonderfully. This can be made with a cheaper, tougher piece of meat, but when Tri-tip…

The cold weather called for stew today. My good friend Brian made a great one. Adding the ginger was an inspiration and it brought everything together.

Greek Beef Stew

Greek Beef Stew by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious ethnic variation on classic beef stew. I think the cinnamon gives it a unique and delicious flavor. Adults and kids we have served this to both loved it. I adapted this from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki by Nancy Miyasaki

This is one of the great traditional dishes of Japan. In Japanese "suki" means to like, and "yaki" means to broil or grill. Modern sukiyaki is boiled in a pot, but you can think of it as "cooked how you like it". Pick from the ingredients listed below (our family always picks 7 of them), and have a great meal. The sweet broth and…

Tagine of Beef and Sweet Potatoes

Tagine of Beef and Sweet Potatoes by John Spottiswood

This is an amazing tagine/stew. The flavor is just amazing. It's not as spicy or as powerful as many Moroccan tagines, but it is wonderful.

Bistro Beef Stew

Bistro Beef Stew by John Spottiswood

This warm and hearty stew is full of vegetable chunks, and tender beef chunks. Try serving is with warm French or sourdough bread, and a hearty Cabernet or Syrah. This is just a fantastic, comfort beef stew. I kept tasting it, thinking it would need some sort of additional spice, but in the end I added nothing to it. It's just…

Posse Stew

Posse Stew by Clarisa Skinner

When I was a teenager, my step-father made a dish he called Posse Stew. Basically it consisted of browned ground beef and several cans of vegetables and kidney beans. Since then I have changed the recipe some to suit my family's tastes (no kidney beans for sure!) and it has become one of my favorite comfort foods. The recipe is…

FAJITA STEAK STEW by IVORY GEE

I was actually trying to cook beef stew but didnt have all of the proper ingredients, so I made my own kind of stew to go over jasmine rice with what I did have. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has!
