Beef (stew cubes)? what else can i make with it besides stew?!
Answers: i don't want to make stew, what other recipes can i use with beef stew cubes?
I take mine and I melt butter into olive oil and add onions and green peppers . I then add stew meat and let all of that cook down untill the liquid looks like a gravy . put on some hoagie rolls and wallah you have steak sandwiches my kids and my family love these .
Chile is so good made with stew beef!
You can make kabobs, with tomato green pepper and onions, marinate the meat for an hour if you want, then put them in the broiler until cooked, about 5-10 minutes depending on the temp
Stir fry
You can make vegetable beef soup,
or you can make shish kebabs---
just marinate the meat in your favorite sauce (or even try Italian dressing), then thread the meat onto skewers with some veggies--cherry tomatoes, onions and peppers are classics. Just don't try any "hard" veggies like carrots or potatoes--they all have to finish cooking at the same time. After you get the skewers threaded just pop them on the grill, or if it's too cold to grill you can use the broiler on your oven. If you use wooden skewers you should soak them for about 30 minutes first to prevent burning.
Another good one---beef pot pie.
I agree with the stir fry!

Beef Bourguignon II
INGREDIENTS:
? 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
? 1/2 teaspoon salt
? 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
? 1 pound cubed stew meat
? 2 tablespoons butter
? 1/2 onion, chopped
? 1 carrots, chopped
? 1/2 clove garlic, minced
? 1 cup red wine
? 1/2 bay leaf
? 1 ? tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
? 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and ground black pepper. Coat the beef cubes with this mixture.
2. Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the meat and brown well on all sides. Pour this into a 2 quart casserole dish.
3. Return the skillet to the heat and add the onion, carrots and garlic to it. Sauté for 5 to 10 min. or until onion is tender. Add the wine, bay leaf, parsley, and thyme. Pour over meat and stir.
4. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 2 1/2 hours.
the cut of meat isn't very marbled so it needs to be slow cooked. when this type of meat is slow cooked, becomes very tender. the best recipes involve braising, stove top or oven, for stew meat. if you are used to american/european style stews, try doing a thai style curry, using store bought curry paste, coconut milk, potatoes, carrots, zuchini, etc.
brown meat, remove from pot, saute veg, add curry and saute a minute. add coconut milk,and deglaze. add meat and simmer until meat is tender. finish off with chopped fresh basil.
other ideas:
*oven or crockpot bbq beef
*dice chunks and add to a soup with barley or a minestrone.
*cut into smaller pieces, marinade overnight in olive oil, rosemary and garlic with a touch of red wine. the next day, wrap each piece of meat with a thin piece of pancetta and stick onto metal or wet bamboo skewers. grill or broil, until done.
(because you have cut pieces smaller and marinaded the meat, it can be cooked faster. the addition of pancetta keeps it nice moist. you can cook these skewers quickly and not slowcooked like the other recipes i offferd.
like pork, some kinds of beef need to be cooked either quickly or for a long time. in between makes for tough meat.
