    Fucking hell. I don’t even eat make stews and this is exactly what I need.

    Edit: I absolutely eat stew when offered. It’s been a while.

    Speaking of, has anyone here tried Hamburger soup? It’s like beef stew except with ground beef, red wine, tomatoes and potatoes and it’s very rich and hearty also.

    Mmmm mmmm that does look good. I’ve tried to make beef stew but it always comes out like beef soup with too much sweetness (probably the wine). But you can’t beat a bowl of good stew with bread on a cold day.

      It sounds like there might not be much in your stew to thicken it. The beef fat helps a bit, but you can toss the beef chunks in flour to give the stew a bit more body. This recipe I used just straight up has you add some unflavored powdered gelatin to it to give you that coating-the-back-of-a-spoon texture.

      I’ve used red wine and beef in dishes together in the past. Usually you just need something a little salty to balance the sweetness out. The UK condiment marmite usually does the trick for me, although soy sauce can work in a pinch.
