Hello, everyone. So, I was getting gluten free beef stew ready to go in the crock pot this morning. I kept thinking...."I should share this in my Facebook group." So, when I was done, I went to my blog and Pinterest and saw that it has been 11 months since I last used them!
My son has celiac disease and so, I have to find ways to make different food gluten free. Sometimes this is pretty easy like this one for Beef Stew.
Who doesn't love Beef Stew on a cold, winter's evening? It is such an awesome, warm me up,, comfort food!
So, Step one is to brown your meat in a pan on the stove then transfer to Crock-Pot.
I love my meat rare so, I left mine a little red knowing it would cook more in the Crock-Pot.
Step 2 is to boil all your spices and minced garlic in the same pan as you browned your meat Yummmmm!!! Doesn't that look good!
Step 3 is to reserve some of the liquid, pour the rest in the slower cooker and add your veggies. So, I have to tell you; my mother and father used to work at a seafood restaurant (where the best chicken wings were served) in our area. The owner always said to use ALL of the celery stalk including the leaves. The only parts you don't use is the very ends and the parts that are brownish. That was almost 30 years ago and I have done it ever since.
In step 4 you will be making and adding your gravy to your stew.
You will be adding the cornstarch to the reserved liquid and whisking it until it is the consistency of gravy.
So, one day, I wanted to make gravy and had no flour or a way to the store. I called my mother to ask if they had any. my father answered the phone, Mom wasn't home and had the car. My Dad, who was a cook in the Army, told me to use cornstarch in place of the flour. I love using the cornstarch because, it doesn't clump up as much as flour.
Did you know Crock-Pot is a brand name. If it doesn't say "Crock-Pot" it is a slow cooker. Mine is a Crock-Pot.
