Beef Stew from roast?

AN easy way to make the roast is in the oven and add a cup of leftover coffee to the pan. Not sure what it does but what a great flavor and moist. For the stew I like cutting the roast up into small bite size pieces, adding potatoes, and a can of mixed vegetables (or frozen) and some tomato sauce, herbs. Add water to keep it in watered in a soup like base.

Kim, I don’t drink coffee, does it leave a coffee taste? I like the smell of coffee brewing— but it’s not one of the taste that I like.

No the roast does not taste like coffee. It acts like a tenderizer to the meat.

Good luck.

My grandma used to make strew out of left over roast all the time!! She would use tha pan dripping and make extra gravy for the stew and cut up whatever meat and veggies we did not eat that night, mix it together and call it stew. Super yummy!
I ususally cook mine all day in a crock pot, I am not sure how long to cook it in the oven.

Just chop it up, along with leftover veggies (add more carrots, onion, potato, parsnip, whatever you used if needed), add some water and bouillon, taste now and then to check seasoning. If my husband’s got a beer in the fridge I will pour a beer in the stew. It adds a nice flavor.

I always stir in some floury water at the end to make the stew nice and thick, and I tend to serve it with cornbread.

You certainly did do a good job. Getting 3 meals out of one roast…It’s all a learning proccess..

Oh it’s so good!

I cook my roast in the Crockpot with potatoes and carrots. If I’m lucky enough to have left overs I chop up the left over roast and mix a little gravy with it and the potatoes that were left over and fry it up in a skillet making Hash out of it. We love it but rarely have left overs!

Would you mind sharing your recipe? I’d love to have it! 🙂

I always turn my roasts into stew the next day. Everyone looks forward to it. Something about leftover roast made into stew is very homey.

I add a can of beer in my crock pot for roast or chicken. It does add a very nice flavor!!

combine beef, potatoes, onion, parsely, salt & pepper. heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Spread meat mixture in skillet.

Brown hash 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently with wide spatula. Stir in gravy or water. Reduce heat; cover and cook 10 minutes or until crisp.

We rarely have left overs but boy we sure love making hash when we do!

I’m sure there are a lot of folks who could do roast better than me. I’m home full time but between home schooling and running the farm I run full tilt all day 4:30 am until 10Pm if I’m lucky! When I do a roast I grab it out of the freezer –Yes it’s quite frozen! I rub it down with dry onion soup mix and then I put Quartered potatoes and baby carrots in then put the roast on top. I usually add a can of beef broth also. Put it on low and head out the door to start chores. If I know we’ll be having dinner early I will put it on high for a couple hours then turn it to low. I let it cook 10 to 12 hours usually- on by 5am and eat around 4 or5 PM. My family likes it falling apart and I don’t have a lot of time so this is easy and it always turns out.

Thanks! This sounds delicious! I’m gonna have to try this! My hubbie would love a nice roast with potatoes and carrots! (Maybe I’ll add some small onions too.) Ooh, my mouth is watering! Thanks so much! 🙂

brchbell, I make my roast the same way you do,but I add 2 0r 3 onions. And by the time I get home from work after cooking it slow all day, it is so good. The family likes it falling apart also.

I always use my leftover roast for soups and stews. I have been known to put the leftover roast in freezer bags until I want to make the soup or stew. By time it cooks all day you can’t tell if it was frozen or not.

I was able to clip a $10 off Rival Crockpot coupon out of the paper in November and Wal-Mart had a Rival Crockpot on sale for $37 and it had a $10 rebate and a little dip crock pot free with it. So I got both of them for $17. Hope you can find a bargain soon!

Shannon,
Go to Rival’s web site looking for a coupon. You could also go thrift shopping if you have the time. Check out your local Freecycle site one the web too. Good luck in your search.

I found a Rival 6 qt Crock Pot at the thrift store for $12. Keep an eye out. For some reason, people are always getting rid of the most time-valuable appliance in their kitchens! lol
