How to Make Beef Stew Cooked In A Steamer
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a large baggie or pie dish, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat cubes in the flour mixture.
- Brown the beef cubes in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side, until nicely browned. (Optional, but recommended)
- Remove the browned beef from the skillet and place it in a heat-proof bowl that fits comfortably in your steamer.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of beer and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the beer and vinegar mixture over the beef in the heat-proof bowl.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cover the bowl tightly with foil or a lid. Place the bowl on the steamer rack.
- Bring the water in your steamer to a rolling boil. Place the rack with the beef into the steamer and steam for 60 minutes.
- After 60 minutes of steaming, add 1 lb of cubed potatoes and 1/2 head of cabbage, quartered, to the steamer. Steam for an additional 24 minutes (total steaming time 84 minutes).
- Remove the beef, potatoes and cabbage from the steamer. Carefully pour the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the butter-flour mixture into the simmering cooking liquid, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the beef, potatoes, and cabbage. Serve hot.
