Stew Recipe FAQs
How do I thicken a stew?
To thicken a thin stew, stir in a cornflour slurry made from equal parts cold water and cornflour during the final 10 minutes of cooking. You can also remove the lid to reduce the liquid naturally or mash a few cooked potatoes into the broth to release their starch.
How do I make stew in a slow cooker?
To make stew in a slow cooker, combine your meat, vegetables, stock, herbs, and seasonings in the slow cooker. Cook on low for several hours, or on high if you're short on time, until the meat is tender and the flavours are fully developed.
How long should I cook stew?
Stew typically takes 4 to 8 hours on the low setting of a slow cooker, or 2 to 4 hours on high. Cook until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft without falling apart.
What should I serve with a stew?
Stew pairs perfectly with hearty sides that soak up the rich gravy, such as creamy mashed potatoes, warm crusty bread, or fluffy rice. For a lighter option, serve it with steamed green vegetables or a crisp garden salad.
What should I put in a stew?
A classic stew starts with a hearty protein such as diced beef or lamb, combined with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips. Add onions, garlic, stock, and herbs such as thyme and bay leaves to create a rich, comforting flavour.
