How to brand classic beef stroganoff

This ain't no xxx minute Hamburger Helper situation, where nosotros throw in some ground beef and call it good. Oh no. There is a fourth dimension and a place for ground beef (like this Easy Chili I just posted), but comfort nutrient means we need to take some time. (Time in the crock pot, that is, while you kick upwardly your feet and do nada.) The merely active fourth dimension is in the first when we brown the beef and simmer the sauce for a chip.

raw beef, chopped and ready to sear; adding salt and pepper to chopped beef

Start off with a two pound chuck roast and chop it into 2 inch chunks. I learned recently that stew meat, the pre-chopped beefiness they sell at the shop, can sometimes have odds and ends from lots of different cuts. I normally have no issues with it getting tender when slow cooked, but to guarantee tender fall-apart meat, buy yourself a chuck roast and chop it your cocky. Takes 3 minutes.

Pat dry out, and salt and pepper generously. Generously, I say!

If you dump information technology all in at once, the meat will steam itself instead of browning, and you've completely defeated the purpose. You may too dump it in the crock pot raw.

Add in some vino and beef broth and simmer it down for a few minutes. I used cooking wine. Anyone who drinks wine will tell you in a hoity toity vocalisation that cooking wine is the worst thing always, but I utilize it all the fourth dimension and call up information technology tastes amazing. And it'southward cheap. I don't drink alcohol and am certainly not going to buy a $20 bottle of wine just for beef stroganoff, to have the rest go downward the drain. But if you beverage vino, pick your favorite reddish and go to town!
