I was concerned when making this stew if it would seem like it was missing something since there are so few ingredients. My husband and I both LOVED this stew. It was very flavorful & filling and didn't need anything else other than crusty bread to soak up the stew. I didn't use a beer but added extra beef stock instead. I also floured the meat before cooking - it seemed to thicken up the stew. I cooked it for 3 hours & the meat was tender & perfect. Great recipe.
This is AMAZING, crazy good!!! I make it quite often. I use cans of Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies, and I do add sliced mushrooms, and sauté with the onions. I don't season or flour the meat cubes before browning at all. There is no need to. The spices, beer (I use Sam Adams Boston Lager) meat, tomatoes, etc, all work together very nicely to make a delicious dish. I eat this as is, or in burritos, tacos, the best super nachos ever, on a bun as a delicious twist on a sloppy joe, put leftovers in your spaghetti sauce, endless meals with this one. Add more seasonings or peppers if you like real spicy, or cut them out if need too. You'll still get a great dish. By far, my favorite recipe on AR, and I love a lot of them!
Yum Yum Yum! This is soooo good! I made a few changes. I browned the meat onions and garlic and put it in the crockpot instead of cooking them on the stove. I feel that it could of used a bit more beer so next time I'll use a whole bottle for 3 servings instead of half a bottle.
Great recipes - I used 2 cans of rotel tomatoes and 1 can of garlic whole tomatoes - YUMMY I have made this four times now and each time its gotten rave reviews from friends and family. Thanks for sharing.
I have been cooking for 40 years and will say this recipe should always get 5 stars.It is delicious and when someone says it is bland maybe taste buds are shot.lol I also hate when someone changes the recipe and gives it a low rating.My rating is based on ease of cooking flavor costs and how much is left after eating.It is a great meal with my homemade french bread on a snowy day.
Really nice - almost surprisingly so. I thought I was going to play with this recipe and perhaps thicken it but it did some excellent stuff while it was cooking and turned out really well without my help. The broth is rich but simple and does enough thickening on it's own. I threw some cilantro and fresh jalepeno on top and called it delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
I made this as written. It came out great and was thick without using flour. I chopped up some carrots and threw them in also. Excellent.
This is a great recipe that is very easy. I read the reviews and floured the meat before frying. I used more beef broth and left out the beer. I also threw it all in a crock pot after frying up the meat and cooked it on high for 5 hours. We will be having this again.
This was outstanding! I used frozen roasted New Mexico chiles instead of canned and simmered closer to 3 1/2 hours. The meat was tender and the flavor was wonderful.
I'm sorry but this dish is completely flavorless. The only good thing I can say is the chuck (stewing meat) comes out very tender but any meat will simmered for 2 1/2 hours.
