The Epicurean Esquire--Episode #21 lb

In this episode, I cook beef stew--my own recipe. It's a great stew recipe, if I may say so myself;) Here it is:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb. stew beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 flour
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
• 2 carrots, cut into 1/4" - 1/2" pieces
• 1 lb. potatoes cut into 1" pieces
• 1.5 cups frozen peas
• 2 cups red wine
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1.5 tspns marjoram
• 1 tspn thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• salt & pepper to taste

Dredge the beef in the flour. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over med-high heat. Brown the meat for 5 minutes or so. Add the onions and cook for 4 minutes or so until translucent. Add the garlic and the carrots and cook for 3 minutes or so. Add the potatoes and the red wine. Turn up the heat to high and boil the wine for a few minutes, then add the peas and beef broth. Heat the beef broth and add the spices. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours. Serve with crusty bread or over egg noodles.

The video where I cook the stew follows and underneath the video you'll find a photo of the finished meal.
