Whiskey Stew Recipe

Lets learn how to make this whiskey stew recipe (unless you use Pendleton, then it’s whisky)!

This meal had a wonderful rich flavor. I should have doubled it, I shared it with my parents and in-laws, so we didn’t get more than a taste! It made about 4 good servings. We think this is a great starter recipe for large gatherings, cozy nights, and nights where an easy throw together meal is needed.

A little about our beef:
Painted Hills Natural Beef offers exceptional flavor, tenderness and consistency in a premium quality product from real ranchers that raise cattle with care. We slow the process down to provide a superior product, then we work with trusted partners to ensure quality service and attention to detail from start to finish. No matter the cut of beef or the preparation, you know that you are getting the best beef from folks you can trust.

The most common attributes of our beef we hear from customers are “quality and consistency.” We slow the process of raising cattle to create a superior product. USDA Choice and Prime grade beef like you would find in a high end steakhouse, but you can serve in your own home. The same beef we feed our families.

We only work with trusted partners that follow our protocols. Cattle are raised without the use of antibiotics, added hormones. We do not use mRNA vaccines, nor are they currently in use for cattle in the US. We don’t allow the feeding of animal by-products.

Thank you for trusting us to feed you, your friends, and your family. We’d love to see the finished product! Try out this whiskey stew recipe and tag us in a post on Facebook or Instagram!

Chuck Roast

Ingredients

  • 2Tbsp.Olive Oil
  • 6Unit(s)carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1Unit(s)onion chopped, sweet or purple work best
  • 2Unit(s)celery chopped
  • 2Lbsstew meat (I used a 2 ½# chuck roast and chopped into 1” cubes, trimming off most excess fat)
  • 2Tsp.flour
  • 1xSalt and pepper
  • 1/2C.whiskey (I used Pendleton 1910 Rye and it worked beautifully)
  • 1Tbsp.dried basil
  • 1Tbsp.Rainier The Essentials seasoning
  • 2C.beef broth
  • 1C.Water

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a heavy pan or pot over medium high heat. Add the carrots, onion and celery and saute until starting to brown.
  2. Heat oil in a large pan or pot (preferably cast iron) over medium high heat. You can use the same pan as above, just remove the vegetables first. Or use a second pan (that’s how I do it…just so I can go faster, you can cook both at the same time that way). Place beef in the hot pan and cook until browned. Add flour, salt and pepper to taste and stir until the beef is well covered. If your pan isn’t big enough to hold all pieces with room in between them, do this in 2 batches.
  3. Combine the two sets of ingredients into one large heavy pot. Add the following ingredients and stir: ½ cup whiskey (I used Pendleton 1910 Rye and it worked beautifully) 1 T dried basil 1 T Rainier The Essentials seasoning 2 c beef broth 2 c water
  4. Cook on low for 2-3 hours…that way the flavors really mellow together. 1 hour before serving you can add 4-5 chopped red potatoes if desired. This changes the recommending serving size from 4-6 people.
