Tips and Tricks
- Use bone broth or a rich beef stock for deeper flavor.
- Brown the beef in batches to get a great sear without steaming the meat.
- Add water gradually if the stew thickens too much while cooking.
Variations
- Swap winter squash for sweet potatoes or butternut squash.
- Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
- Include mushrooms or parsnips for extra earthiness and texture.
Substitutions
- Replace beef stew meat with lamb or pork chunks for a different flavor profile.
- Use vegetable broth instead of bone broth to make it vegetarian-friendly (add plant-based protein).
- Swap fresh ginger with ground ginger in a pinch, but reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
Best Served With
- Crusty bread or sourdough to soak up the rich stew.
- Steamed jasmine or basmati rice for a comforting base.
- Simple green salad to lighten the meal.
- Roasted root vegetables for added texture and flavor.
How to Store Leftovers
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to loosen the stew. This stew also freezes well-freeze in portions for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Common Questions
Can I make this stew in a slow cooker?
Yes, you can use any high-quality beef broth or stock. The OWL elixir adds extra richness and depth, but a good beef broth works just fine.
Can I substitute another broth for the OWL Beef Bone Broth Elixir?
Absolutely. Brown the beef and sauté the vegetables first, then add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until tender.
