Thank you 🙏

[@liznewark]

@Chef Jack Ovens I have come back to this recipe repeatedly and have tweaked the ingredients with great results. I’ve thrown sweet potatoes in the stew, I’ve switched the raisins for dates, and added frozen vegetables to the mix. This spice combo warms up the bland traditional stew making it delectable!

[@Abduuu61]

For people that can't consume alcohol: For me using the combination of grape juice and a little bit of balsamic vinegar replicates the flavor of using red wine in cooking extremely well. Just do not use too much grape juice because of the sugar in it, otherwise the dish can become a bit too sweet. I usually use about half or a third of the amount of wine it says in a recipe. For example if a recipe wants me to use 300ml red wine, I use 100ml-150ml grape juice and balsamic vinegar to taste (usually 1-3 tbsp).

[@swagman7728]

thanks!

[@peterdewberry3082]

Alcohol boils at 78 Celsius (173 F) within 3 or 4 minutes into the recipe, all the alcohol would have evaporated.

[@raez7155]

@@peterdewberry3082 I don't think they are worried about the wine IN the recipe, more the rest of the bottle not in the recipe

[@scotnick59]

Love love great stew; nothing better on a cold wintry night along with hot sourdough French bread & butter!

[@nadeemsiddiq7636]

I made this tonight. I did indeed have everything in my pantry except for the currants which were easily found at my local grocery store. Turned out wonderful! I also served it with mash potatoes. Thank you so much for this as well as all of your other recipes which always really distill things down to their simplest forms and easiest methods for novices like me. Very much appreciated!

[@jonclymer9025]

Totally worth making dont skip this ones guys even if youre missing some of the optional stuff but i did end up trying it with the other stuff and it does add a unique touch so good

Never heard anyone describe bay leaf as piney but apparently google agrees. I never knew what to call the flavor so i'm stealing this, thanks.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Haha there you go 😉

[@markbaker42]

G'day Chef. I made your dish last night and it was absolutely amazing!! I did add red capsicum and also rinsed my old Vegemite jar in also. So good!! Thankyou.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Fantastic!

[@artelina]

I made this today and the flavors are incredible. So much depth and nuances so this recipe is really really good compare to other ones. Although I needed to cook the beef about 5 hrs before it started to soften the way I like it. I got threbest greek food ever on an island Leflada GR and this stew is really close to the one which made me lick the plate. Thank you so much for this one and also your straight forwards approach.

[@TheFrogEnjoyer]

So glad to see your channel doing well.

[@yvonnehoning4293]

I just made this. Wonderful. Will make it again.

[@evehsv5556]

Great recipe once again Chef Jack I’m not a cinnamon girl but I do always add sweet potato 🍠 and carrrots for natural sweetener trust me it’s delicious and they also naturally thicken my stews we love stews but I do cheat I use the pressure cooker 🤣🤣🤣except when I stew rib’s definitely slow cook those in my casserole dish in the oven gosh they’re good. Thanks Jack. 😊

[@eugenesenkin2137]

Ooooh, have you ebver tried to make mashed potatos out of sweet potato? I'm very curious how it tastes like...

I tried using sweet potato and cooking in the pressure cooker and it ruined it lol… not the same.

[@ulfur7584]

its so refreshing to have a cooking video for noobs. I get so annoyed with videos that say put a bit of this and a bit of that, with a touch of this, what does that mean?? how much is a touch? is a touch of vinegar different to a splash of vinegar? is cooking something for a little bit 5min? 3? 1? Most videos are done with too many assumptions and I've just discovered you now and Im already making my shopping list for tomorrow. Thanks for a well explained, well structured and easy to follow recipes videos, please keep doing what your dong

Expecting a long rainy day here in Ireland so going to make this ❤

bruh try cooking it yourself, or at least give her a hand

[@aliko3519]

nice recipe. I'm not used to cooking so i did burn a bit of the beef and onions while letting it heat, shouldve put it on a lower flame lol. But yes despite that, lovely flavour. It was still a very tasty dish despite some of the burns i made. I was blown away by how nice the beef was.

Jack can you please make some recommendations on what meat to buy? Tried everywhere for beef chuck (in uk) and no one seems to know what I’m asking for. Is it the same as braising steak?

[@TheFaceLG]

Can you do this in the slow cooker?

[@jamessheridan4306]

Very intrigued by this recipe and would love to try it. Unfortunately, black currants aren't available here in the states though black currant jam can be ordered online. I wonder if a dollop of that would work.

No don’t put black currant jam in it 🙏 they can easily be left out

Cannot wait to try this recipe! ❤❤

[@dogenschmitz]

I'm making this right now. Can I cook this longer (a few more hours) for potentially softer/more tender meat? Great content as always.

[@ChefJackOvens]

You can cook it longer but it doesn’t need it. The meat is already super tender and any longer it will start to dry out

Of course! You can add anything you like to this 🙌

Nice recipe I can’t wait to make it. Thanks Jack, I some how couldn’t make a stew without carrots either. 😉

[@YuriSVdovenko]

Thank you so very much for your video tutorial! My questions are as follows: Can I add carrots to this stew? If so, in what form and at what stage? Can I use beurre manie as an additional thickener? Thanks a million for your answers in advance! Greetings from Ukraine

[@liznewark]

I added carrots after the onions had softened

[@bluefire6]

Is it okay to fry with olive oil at a high heat?

[@harmony3395]

There was a school of thought about how bad this was for your arteries and to use rapeseed oil instead. However, newer research seems to be saying olive oil is not as bad as we thought. I have stuck with rapeseed tho.

[@bluefire6]

@@harmony3395 I thought it was to do with the low smoke point of olive oil, when frying. I’ve switch to avocado oil for now, I will definitely be sticking with it.

Does this recipe work using pork shoulder or pork cheeks instead? :)

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you 🙏

[@plasmac9]

This was a good basis for making it my own. Don't like cinnamon, didn't use it. Don't like bay leaves, didn't add them. Currants... can't get those anywhere here. Rather red wine vinegar we used 6 ounces of our favorite teriyaki marinade and added it at the step you added the vinegar. It gave the stew a nice tang without it being too powerful. Using whole shallots on top of onion in a stew isn't something I had ever considered but they gave the stew a really nice flavor.

[@Mousumis_cooking]

Very nice ❤❤

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you! Cheers!
