Slow Cooker
Kyle's Favorite Beef Stew
A classic beef stew with tender chunks of meat, potatoes, and carrots in a rich broth. A family favorite that warms from the inside out.
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds cubed beef stew meat 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 large potatoes, cubed
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 (1 ounce) envelopes onion soup mix
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 large onions, quartered
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1/2 cup burgundy wine
- 2 (6 ounce) packages fresh button mushrooms, halved
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions:
- Toss the beef, flour, and salt in a sealable bag until the beef is coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the beef and Worcestershire sauce in the skillet; cook until the beef is evenly browned on all sides; transfer to a slow cooker, but do not clean the skillet. Add the carrots, potatoes, parsley, and pepper to the slow cooker.
- Combine the boiling water and soup mix in a small bowl; add to slow cooker.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the melted butter until soft; transfer the onion and garlic to the slow cooker and return the skillet to the heat. Combine the wine and mushrooms to the skillet; cook until the mushrooms begin to absorb the wine; pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
- Place the cover on the slow cooker and set to High; cook for one hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook until the beef is fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours. Whisk together the warm water and cornstarch; stir into the stew; cook uncovered until stew thickens, about 15 minutes.

Banana Bread
I have very few food aversions, but I was never able to stomach plain bananas. I love the idea of them... but banana bread was about as far as I could go with a banana... Until, that is, until I tried caramelizing them. Pairing them up with macadamia nut ice cream makes for a wicked combination. It's great as just this, or with a few little extra garnishes it makes an incredible sundae!
