Formulation of the Month
Beef stew with
orange essence |
|
 |
|
| |
This
beef stew relies on oranges to make a huge impact on the finish
of the dish. It is surprisingly sweet and tangy all at the same
time without being overwhelming. It has overtones of earthy
oregano that's added at the last minute to finish and could
easily be served over boiled potatoes, mashed plantains, rice
and beans or egg noodles. Thickened with HOMECRAFT ™
Create 765 Wheat Flour at the beginning of the dish when
the meat is browned, the sauce's finished quality is lustrous,
velvety, very thick and rich.

765 Wheat Flour, salt and pepper in re-sealable
plastic bag, close, shake to mix well. Add
beef, close bag and shake again to coat beef
evenly. Remove beef, shaking off excess flour
mixture and place in a single layer on a plate,
discard remaining flour mixture. Heat oil
in large Dutch oven over medium high heat
until very hot, about 2 minutes. Brown beef,
in batches, turning once until evenly browned,
about 10 minutes. Remove beef from pan, set
aside. Add onions, carrots, celery, cumin,
coriander, and tomato paste; cook, stirring
frequently, until onions start to caramelize
and tomato paste turns deep red, about 15
minutes. Stir in zest, juice, orange rinds,
broth, wine, and beef. Bring to a boil, lower
heat to a simmer, cover; cook until beef is
fork tender, about 1 hour. Remove orange rinds
from stew and discard. Remove meat from pot,
puree cooking liquid with an immersion blender,
return meat to pan. Stir in oregano, taste,
adjust seasoning. |
