Things I learned while making Beef Stew
Get a cheap cut of beef. Ask for Stewing Beef. It's going to break down from being cooked for a long time so it doesn't matter if it's tough.
Sear with nothing or just a little bit of oil. You can cook the hell out of it, until it's kinda burnt. I messed this up by adding broth which kept it from searing. A lot of people pat the meat down to make it as dry as possible first.
When I make this again I am going to use veggie broth. To me it's fuller flavored than beef broth. I might use cubes and make it slightly stronger.
So cut the beef up, sear it, then put it in a pot with your broth and start cooking it low and slow. The beef takes longer and if you put in everything together the veggies will fall apart. Feel free to give this an hour head start.
Saute your onions, brown them for flavor, then throw them in. Chop up your potatoes and carrots and throw them in.
Seasoning: I would have started this whole thing with garlic. Really helps to fill out the flavor. I would press a couple cloves in. Salt and pepper. a squirt of dijon. A pinch of chilis for some bite. And a couple herbs don't hurt (thyme and oregano).
Basically keep adjusting but also give it time to cook through. This took a bunch of fiddling as I went but it turned out really good.

[@sherryfan161]

the part where he was pouring the broth made me so uncomfortable

[@donovanstevens9872]

I wondered if that's what it was supposed to look like. But if you notice the top of the screen at 1:40 you can see the beef broth container.

[@davids.5664]

ya its like pee

[@Dualidity]

Sherry Fan i feel like it might be like peeing with a boner

[@Turtleproof]

I experienced irrational outrage and frustration during that part.

[@TheVeryAngryShrimp]

Sherry Fan I felt like I was gonna pee myself.

[@SitStandWalk]

we appreciate the hours editing the chopped vegetable sequences!

[@yousuckatcooking]

uggghhh thank you.

[@ClubPenguinMaster88]

Yes, but he made the video so its with each chop and not the entire thing

[@MatthewSmith-sz1yq]

Yeah that kind of editing is always really fascinating to me, cuz it’s one of the methods that takes less gear, but a lot more time and skill. It’s kind of like the “film vs. digital” of photography.

[@privatenumber9672]

You know the guy puts together quality videos when I'm watching a video on beef stew even though I don't eat meat.

[@privatenumber9672]

Totally worth it just for the makeshift fire place instructions. 🔥👍

[@arnoldthomsen6571]

Damn i loved how you slipped that part about you being vegan in.. Vegans just never call attention to their own veganism, this is absolutely amazing!

[@marinalacey7036]

they didnt even mention veganism you twit.

[@arnoldthomsen6571]

''even though I don't eat meat.'' Shut the fuck up.

Dear Erica, I'm not sure I'll hate the guts to give this to you. DO you beieve in ghosts? I'm sort of on the fence. I feel like ghosts would be common if they existed. But maybe they are just really good at hiding. I think you're cool. Do you think I'm cool? It's cool if you don't. Ha Ha. Okay, bye. YSAC

You Suck At Cooking favorite youtuber !

[@DarkX64]

You Suck At Cooking It is for that dedication to detail and actually being informative that I really do love your channel man. Everything I see of yours is a labor of love and it does much more than give me a quick laugh. I enjoy this stuff on a deeper level and that is no exaggeration either. Keep this up

[@yousuckatcooking]

Thank you so much.

[@CaptainBuggyTheClown]

That leg shot really had me going.

[@claredriscoll5092]

You can also thicken it with instant mashed potato flakes if you don't want to use flour.

[@yousuckatcooking]

Damn Clare what are you an idea machine?

[@claredriscoll5092]

No, last time I made gravy the flour had bugs in it, so I had to scramble.

[@lilmcgillmusic]

gotta keep flour in the freezer because of weevils, you guys

[@fabulousfloof3546]

You people get bugs in your flour???

[@claredriscoll5092]

Fabulous Floof I was cooking at someone else's house. I had no idea how old the floor was in their pantry. It was old. The people I was cooking for are very old. Old people sometimes don't notice things like that. They don't do much baking or cooking from scratch.

[@duffyprivate]

the vibrator around the carrot at 0:30 lmao

[@LDaniel_BDuce]

Wild Islander Duffy 😂 why dose he have one😂

[@goromeat5196]

I thought he said "a bit of Dijon Mustard, straight out of Katy's mom" I was like holy fuck this dude is edgy.

[@rolofiend]

Wait what? What did he say if he didn't say that.

[@SaucyRamenBoy]

"A bit of Dijon mustard. Shout out to Katy's mom"

[@davishall]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Shout out to Katy's mom.

[@sardonicsage6551]

I think he said "Shout Out" because it was her recipe or idea

[@thomasruiz2307]

It's visually satisfying watching you cut vegetables like that.

I think it was in a box which made it sound like he was peeing in it.

[@DarkX64]

Rachester I'm the flour he said he didn't need to add in

[@Ganges172]

I'm the non-uniform potato chunk.

[@pokekate1]

i'm the root vegetables that have spent their whole life surrounded by dirt

[@freemanaccount5146]

NO BROTH when searing. The searing reaction (called maillard) takes place above 212F (100) degrees. Water, or broth, cannot get sufficiently above 212 to allow this reaction. Use only very hot oil. (Also, adding water to hot oil is a good way to start a fire.)

[@yousuckatcooking]

Not as good as matches.

[@Axquirix]

Found out about water + hot oil last time I fried fish fingers. Good thing for me it went out when I turned the heat off.

[@dasalekhya]

*Alternate method* - Toss the chunks in olive oil + salt + pepper --- place on a foil lined baking tray --- bake at 425 F for 30 minutes (for 2 lbs) --- *perfect searing* (remember to add the juices / caramelized fat to the stew)

[@nicholasgraveline7384]

I think the guy behind this channel is probably a really good cook who is making comedy. Not some goofball who cant sear properly.

[@catherinenguyen5612]

"A winter that is going to last the next four years" XD I see what you did there

[@carolehayden8566]

Your addition of the broth put me in mind of a man with a prostate problem. Great vid as per usual.

[@Marialla.]

"a winter that's gonna last for four years" Yeah. I need some stew now too, man. Hella stew.

[@DeathBone4656]

Im so excited for another 4 years

"... a winter that looks like it's gonna last for four years." I was not expecting that joke, but I like it. It's going to be a very harsh winter here in America.

[@graynico8907]

There is something strangely satisfying about watching and listening to someone cutting up vegetables super fast

[@Luridmoirai]

That subtle winter that will last four years joke. I love it.

[@yousuckatcooking]

Hang in there.

[@hyphenatedgames2954]

That feeling when you're just trying to eat your beef stew in front of a raging fire and your roommate calls the psychiatric police on you... RUDE!!!

[@wintersummers3085]

Super clever my dude. Totally didn't see that one coming. How original. It is very inspiring to see someone so unafraid to stand up to something. It is so rare to see that quality of pulling fast ones out. What a clever quip. And so well hidden too. Only the truly intelligent people will get that one. Thank you so much for being the one guy who is clever and unafraid and willing to do the things and say the things that other guys won't.

[@JucheGang]

Season/coat your beef with flour, salt, and pepper, then sear it! Promise you it'll taste better, and you wont have to add flour later.

[@ambers5207]

SwaggyMcNotFag Thats what my grandma does. You wouldn't think it does much but omg its the best!

[@TheTetrapod]

I do that, but I never use enough flour, so I just make a roux about an hour before it's done. Works just as well, but it's a pain.

And when I saw your beautiful fire I burst out crying because I remember the old days where I’d eat my stew with my pawpaw.
