Needs Salt (Beef Stew 2.0)
Sep. 2nd, 2009 10:10 pmI've been sitting on this icon for a while, and I still don't like the text, but I can redo it later. I have a reason to use it!
( Beef Stew, V2.0. Okay, Beef and Vegetable Stew. )
The beef was, indeed, meltingly tender, and boosting the spices was a really good idea. (Some day, I am likely to throw vegetables, potatoes, beef and curry mix into a pot to see what happens.) I didn't add any salt above the salt in the beef broth, which really wasn't enough. I didn't think so, M. really didn't think so - M. made puppy eyes at the cookpot all night, so I did all the work and we both had beef stew for lunch. I will bribe her to take me to the store one bitterly cold January night with the magic phrase "but M., stew beef is on sale!" - so next time I may unbend enough to add a whole teaspoon of salt for flavor. I may also ask M. to donate her wine stash - untouched for many months and counting - to the beef stew cause.
