Notes
- Cajun-Style Beef Stew. Add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to the stew for a spicy twist on a classic dish. White rice or jalapeño cornbread might be served as a side dish.
- Mediterranean Beef Stew. Substitute 1/2 cup of white beans and 1 cup of artichoke hearts for the potatoes for a Mediterranean spin. Incorporate a quarter cup of kalamata olives and a spoonful of oregano into the stew. Add a slice of crusty Italian bread to this stew and serve.
- Asian-Style Beef Stew. Replace the potatoes with 1/2 cup of snow peas, 1/4 cup of sliced bamboo shoots, 1/4 cup of sliced water chestnuts, and 1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms for an Asian-inspired stew. To the stew, add a tablespoon of hoisin sauce and a teaspoon of ground ginger. Complement with a side of white rice.
- Curry Beef Stew. Stews can be made aromatic and savory by adding one tablespoon of curry powder, one teaspoon of ground turmeric, and one teaspoon of ground cumin. Rather than potatoes, try subbing in 1/2 cup of cooked chickpeas and 1/4 cup of raisins. Accompany by a bed of basmati rice.
- Mexican-Style Beef Stew. Substitute 1/2 cup of black beans and 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes for the potatoes to make a stew with a Mexican flavor. Spruce up the stew with a tablespoon of chili powder and a teaspoon of cumin. Corn tortillas and a splash of sour cream go great with this dish.
- Southwestern Beef Stew. You can give it a Southwestern twist by subbing 1/2 cup of cooked pinto beans and 1/4 cup of diced green chilies for the potatoes. Throw in some chili powder, cumin, and smoky paprika for good measure. Have warm tortillas on the side.
- Barbecue Beef Stew. Swap the potatoes for 1/2 cup of boiled black-eyed peas and 1/4 cup of chopped sweet potatoes for a smokey, sweet stew. Stir in a quarter cup of barbecue sauce and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the stew. Creamy coleslaw should be served on the side.
- Moroccan Beef Stew. Swap the potatoes for 1/2 cup of cooked chickpeas and 1/4 cup of raisins for a Moroccan-style stew. To the stew, toss in a tablespoon of Ras El Hanout and a quarter cup of roasted red pepper slices. Toast some pita bread and have it on the side.
