Busted Knuckle Beef Stew

Cooking with Craft

Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 3 hours 30 min | Cool Time: 10 min | Yields 4 servings

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 lb yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • ¾ lb red potatoes, cubed
  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 15 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tbsp ground thyme
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Preheat a large saute pan for 3-5 minutes, until hot.
  3. Add butter and olive oil to the preheated saucepan, swirling to mix.
  4. When butter is melted, add sliced onions, turning to coat with butter/oil mixture, and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes until onions are softened.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring every 8-10 minutes for approximately 30 minutes.
  6. When onions are reduced by about two-thirds and are golden and fragrant, add ¼ cup of the beer and scrape the bottom of the pan to pick up any cooked-on bits. Remove from heat.
  7. To the saute pan, add all remaining ingredients, mixing well, and then pour into a prepared casserole dish.
  8. Cover tightly with foil (or lid) and place in oven.
