Recipes using Canned Beef Stew

You might think of having a beef stew after a long day at work. After sledding all day, you need a fast dinner. So it has to be a quick stew. You might wonder how you could even think of having beef stew, whereas it takes hours to make it.

Also, you might even have to use the crockpot. However, you can get you nice and fresh beef stew from canned beef. Better if you have canned ones at home. At this time, your efficiency will talk for itself. It is easy and so productive. It will never be that easy to fix dinner.

Usually, I use a pint of my canned beef. Just pull it out of the jar, dice it, chop it. So without any delay, let’s jump into some recipes using canned beef stew.

Quick Beef Stew

I bought large canned chunks as my homemade was finished by the previous month; however, you still got to cut it into smaller pieces. I also have frozen corn and peas, and I will peel some potatoes and onions and dice them up.

For an extra touch, I shredded some carrots. For seasoning, I would prefer to use a touch of McCormick Brown Gravy combine. Don’t forget the broth from the canned beef stew; however, this broth will bring the stew into more thickness. This gravy broth goes so well with the tomato flavors if you desire to add so and provides your broth an excellent vibrant look.

I usually add either spaghetti sauce or tomato paste. If you got homemade tomato paste, Kudos! Let’s get into this recipe for canned beef.

Step 2:

Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix it well and roast till it turns brown. It will take around 5 minutes.

Step 3:

Now, add 3 tbsp of tomato paste. I always prefer using homemade over store-bought. Roast the mixture.

Add 1/2 cup beer of your choice to deglaze the mixture. Turn the heat to high settings and reduce the mixture.

Now, take another bowl and add 1/2 cup of chunked onions and do the same procedure.

Step 8:

Transfer potatoes and carrots, and onions into a separate tray and put into the oven for 25 minutes or till the veggies are tender. Remember, the onion will roast faster than the others.

Do keep a close eye on it. Done? Put the trays off the oven, drain the excess oil, and set aside.
