Made a Coopers Stout stew last weekend:
Ingredients
4tbsp flour
4tsp paprika
Oil
750g diced beef
2 rashers bacon, diced
2 onions, finely diced
3 carrots, chopped
3 potatoes, diced
Handful of peas
3 cloves garlic, chopped
400g can chopped tomatoes
1tsp chicken stock powder
375ml or so Coopers Best Extra Stout (could have done with more, actually)
Long dash Worcestershire sauce
Long dash soy sauce
1 tsp sambal oelek (chilli would do)
1 large bay leaf
Oregano, dried parsley, pepper
Method
Mix the paprika and flour and roll the meat in it.
Brown meat in heavy-based saucepan (in two batches, depending on size of saucepan).
Remove meat.
Fry onion and bacon for a while, then add garlic.
Add meat and all other ingredients, except carrots, peas and potato, to the pot and bring to boil.
Simmer or put in oven until meat is tender. If on stovetop, stir frequently to prevent catching.
Add potatoes and carrots and cook until potato is cooked.
Add peas right at the end.
Serve with mash.
Delicious!
You should't need any extra salt, as the Worcestershire and soy sauces, and stock are quite salty.
