BEEF & ALE STEW
A good stew is delicious, comforting, nutritious, homely, nostalgic, cheap to make and can be eaten and enjoyed in so many different ways. This basic stew will work every time and should be thought of as a principal recipe that you can chop and change, using different meats, herbs and liquids - think chicken or butter beans and white wine, lamb and red wine, or pork and cider. Stews are great to serve up for family dinners, because once they're cooking away in the oven you're free to do other things.

Steps:
- If using the oven to cook the stew, preheat it to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
- Put a large shallow ovenproof casserole pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Trim the celery, wash the carrots, peel the onions, then roughly chop it all about the same size as your beef chunks, adding the veg to the pan as you go.
- Season the veg with sea salt and black pepper, and fry for 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to caramelise, stirring occasionally.
- Strip in the rosemary leaves, stir in the flour for 2 minutes, then pour in the booze and let it cook away.
- Pour in the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of the spoon. Fill the tin with water, swirl around, and pour into the pan.
- Bring just to the boil, then stir in the meat, season, and cover. Either simmer slowly on the hob or place in the oven for 2 hours, or until the meat falls apart easily.
- Taste the stew and tweak the seasoning, if needed, then serve with rice or mashed potato, and some lovely veggies, or check out the topping ideas below.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place beef cubes into a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add flour and paprika and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until dark brown, about 4 minutes per side. Flip or stir gently with a wooden spoon until all edges are dark brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add onions to the beef fat with more salt and pepper; cook and stir until they begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir until aromatic and soft, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it turns brown and begins to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up the flavorful browned bits on the bottom. Let the wine reduce until almost dry again, about 3 minutes.
- Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, herbes de Provence, and bay leaves. Add 2 cups beef broth and Worcestershire, stir, and bring to a boil. Add the seared beef cubes back into the stew liquid. Remove from heat and cover the pot.
- Braise in the preheated oven until meat is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Add carrots, potatoes, and more beef broth if needed. Cover and return to the oven to braise until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.
- Discard bay leaves. Stir in peas, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Serve hot.

HEARTY BEEF STEW WITH RED ONIONS AND ALE
In this cozy beef stew, tender chunks of meat in a silky, savory, ale-tinged sauce share the pot with wedges of red onion and sweet nuggets of carrot. A little coriander and allspice add fragrance and depth to the mix, while a spoonful of tomato paste deepens and rounds out the flavors. Like all stews, it tastes even better a day or two later, and can be frozen for up to two months. Serve it over something soft and buttery to soak up the sauce: a mound of mashed potatoes, noodles or polenta.

Steps:
- Season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the onions.
- Peel the onions. Cut 2 of them in half root to stem, then thinly slice them crosswise into half-moons. Cut the third onion, root to stem, into 1/2-inch wedges.
- Dust the beef cubes lightly with flour. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven or other pot over medium-high. Add beef, in batches taking care not to crowd the pan, and sear until it's good and dark all over, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer beef cubes to a bowl as they brown. Add more oil and adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Stir in sliced onions and raise heat to medium-high if you lowered it. Cook until pale golden brown and soft, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Make a well in the center of the onions, then stir in tomato paste, coriander and allspice; cook, stirring until paste is darkened, 1 minute. Stir in stock, ale, 1 cup water and rosemary sprig. Return beef and any juices to the pot and bring to a simmer. Partly cover the pot and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
- Give the beef a stir, then add onion wedges. Simmer for 15 minutes, then stir in carrots and continue to simmer until the meat, onions and carrots are tender, 30 to 45 minutes longer.
- If the sauce seems thin, use a slotted spoon to transfer meat and vegetables to a platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Discard the rosemary. Return pot with liquid to stove and simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if you like. Spoon sauce over meat and garnish with chives, flaky sea salt and more black pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C or 150°C for fan ovens).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil or butter over medium heat in a large lidded casserole that will go from the stove to the oven (or use a large frying pan for the stove top part and then transfer the mixture to a casserole before putting it in the oven).
- Gently fry the onion in the oil or melted butter, stirring often. Sprinkle with a bit of salt to prevent it browning to quickly. You just want the onion to soften.
- Add the remaining oil or butter to the pan and when it has melted in, add the cubed pieces of meat. Brown the meat gently, turning it so that the red colour disappears on all sides.
- Lower the heat and sprinkle the meat and onions with the flour.
- Stir in the flour and cook for a moment or two.
- Stir in the ale, followed by ¾ cup of the beef stock. Reserve the remaining ¼ cup of beef stock.
- Cook for a moment or two.
- If you are using a frying pan transfer the mixture very carefully to an oven safe casserole now. Be careful not to burn yourself.
- Stir in the carrots, along with a good grinding of pepper.
- Tuck the bay leaf in under the liquid, cover the casserole and put it in the oven. Set the timer for half an hour.
- When the timer goes off, carefully remove the casserole from the oven.
- Remove the lid and stir. There should be a good amount of liquid in the pan at this point. If not, add some of the remaining stock.
- Cover the casserole and return it to the oven for an hour.
- Remove the casserole from the oven once again.
- Remove the bay leaf, being careful not to burn yourself.
- Take a spoonful of the gravy and place it in a little bowl to cool.
- Meanwhile, check the thickness of the gravy. If it has not thickened up, mix a tablespoon of cornflour (corn starch) with 1 tablespoon of water and then stir it into the casserole. If it is too thick (this is unlikely but it does happen sometimes), add the remaining stock.
- Taste the spoonful of gravy you set aside earlier, being careful as it still may be hot. Add salt and pepper to the casserole to taste.
- Cover the casserole and return it to the oven for about fifteen minutes or up to half an hour.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest with the lid on for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve the Beef and Ale Stew garnished with the parley.

BEEF AND ALE STEW WITH A SAVORY CRUST
Easy, slow cooked with a savory crust. The dark stout gives this great flavor. Comfort food at it's best. Now I just used crescent rolls for the top of this casserole, but you could use puff pastry if you want. Basically the same result. I just didn't feel like going to the store and the crescents worked great.

Steps:
- Meat -- Now I use a baggie for this, but a small bowl or pan will work fine. I just mix the flour, salt and pepper in a baggie and toss the meat and dredge.
- Saute -- Now in a large pot heated to medium high, add the olive oil and cook the meat until golden brown. DON'T forget shake off most of the flour before you add it to the oil. The meat should take about 5-7 minutes until brown on each side. Remove to a plate while you prepare the vegetables.
- Vegetables -- In the same pot as you cooked the meat, add a little more olive oil and saute the onions, parsnips, celery root, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook 10 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Broth -- Add the beer to deglaze the pan and stir up all the good bits on the bottom of the pan. Add in the beef broth, seasoning and simmer 1 hour covered and 1/2 hour uncovered so the broth reduces a bit. You want a nice thick stew, not too runny. After 1 1/2 hours, the meat should be falling apart.
- NOTE: If you like your stew a bit thicker, just mix a little corn starch and water to make a slurry and add to a medium heat stew and it will thicken right up. Just a tablespoon or so should be plenty.
- Topping -- Now transfer the stew to a 13x9 baking dish, sprayed with Pam. Now roll out your crescent rolls (1 can at a time) on a counter top with a little flour so they don't stick or on a cutting board. Press the seams together and then I take my rolling pin and just roll it a couple of times to make a nice flat sheet.
- Now I like to cut my flat sheet of dough into 8 strips and then lay them across the pie like a checker board. The two crusts make a really pretty presentation. Now if you don't like the checker board pattern, just add it in strips. Anyways you like. Just remember if you put on a solid piece of crust, poke some holes with a fork on the top so the crust can breath. Just like a pie crust.
- Butter and Cheese Glaze -- The best part, just melt for 10 second in the microwave the butter and blue cheese with the seasoning. Just enough to make it soft but not liquid. Then brush the blue cheese butter on the crust.
- Bake -- 400 for about 17-20 minutes until the crust is done and golden brown. Then just ENJOY! Rich hearty stew, falling apart with a golden flaky crust.
