Recipe Introduction


Serves 6


List of Ingredients




1/2 pound beef stew meat or meaty beef scraps
1 tsp salt, divided
1 T vegetable oil
1 C finely diced onion
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tsp tomato paste
4 14oz cans beef broth
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf

Recipe



Season the meat with 1/4 tsp salt. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Brown the meat well on all sides. Add the onion and reduce heat to low, cook until tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste, continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Remove cover and increase heat to medium and simmer for 25 minutes or until reduced to 3 cups. Strain the broth.
Taste broth and add as much of the remaining salt as is necessary to give a salty, beefy flavor. Pour into cups. Serve with French dip sandwiches.
Use the stew meat elsewhere.
