When I bought the fancy kobe style beef from a Japanese store I was just going to make a simple beef soup for my girls. Then I realized that I didn't really know how to make a tasty beef stew. Of course I went straight to Cooks Illustrated and found this "Best Beef Stew" recipe.
Here's my modified ingredient list:
American Kobe style beef
1/2 onion, sliced
1 carrot, chunk
tomato paste + minced garlic
Port
Chicken broth
1 Bay leaf
Dried thyme
Potato
Frozen sweet peas
Israeli couscous
Mainly, I am missing the anchovy, salted pork, pearl onions and the gelatin part. I followed closely the cooking time indicated in the recipe except for the potato part since I was running late.
The stew was served with Israeli couscous which was cooked in chicken broth. It was delicious and hearty. The stew was thick enough that I didn't feel the need to do the gelatin step. One day I'd like to try this recipe again with all the secret ingredients and maybe serve it with homemade spatzle.
