Beef Stew

Braised Beef?

Ive never made stew before, was going to do in the crockpot but wasn't sure if the brown the meat first or put in the pot with the vegetables and raw potatoes. Does anyone have further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. That should say "never made stew before

If you're using a crock pot, it is not necessary to brown meat, it does however, need to have all the ingredients to finish cooking at the same time or close. You can buy a bag of ingredients in the department Freeeze to be cut before meals to sizes that will end all cooked at the same time, usually have to add the potatoes about 30 minutes before serving and cook on high. If you are of a type zero, then the meat and carrots and diced onions and potatoes whole and half depending on size, then it will take longer to cook. He also put potatoes on the top of most liquids to be all that is pre-cooked, you can go at the last minute. To make this stew not soup you need to make your au jus "on the sauce with flour and water or cornstarch to thicken the sauce. 2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1 / 2 cup water, stir until white liquid and slowly pour the soup juice (au jus) Stir and let cook while it thickens utill takes only minutes. When I use a clay pot in Hi start for 30 to 40 minutes and then in about 8 hours. If you want to throw everything together and have 12 hours to put in enough liquid to cover everything, but the meat on top completely and go to work, 30 minutes or less to waste time with the extras you want or simply thicken and eat. There are many recipes on line fantasy with a hobo wine simple, use what's in the cupboard, dishes ....
