Instead of stewing, you are stewing! Good idea. Maybe next time I’m stewing over something late at night I’ll make stew instead. Lemons into lemonade is a summertime strategy.
I love good stew. Whether a traditional beef carrots potatoes and a few parsnips and celery, or the more involved ones like mulligatawny and a few others with a dark beer in them when you breathe the beef. I think my favorite one was after a hunting trip and somebody made it with about 3 lb of fresh venison.
My wife and I are trying to stop drinking that means not having alcohol in the house sadly. I bought a bottle of cheap wine to use for cooking but she drank that too so
Just a thing that helped me when I experienced insomnia for about a week or so and thought I might die from exhaustion, I finally just started writing everything down in a notebook- my fears, hopes, dreams, regrets, loves, etc. Then when I ran out of things to write, I fell asleep. It was all out of my head and racing around competing for priority and I could relax. Try it.
1-2 lbs stew meat, 2 large carrots slices, 2-3 celery stalks chopped, 5 medium potatoes, 2 tbsp tomato paste, half a cup tomato sauce, small chopped white/yellow onion, 2 cups beef stock (sometimes a bit more), garlic (whatever your heart desires...for me, ALL THE GARLIC), 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp thyme, 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, flour (I use wondra in this), and 1/2 cup red wine.
Now here's the key: heat the oven to 325 while browning the meat in a dutch oven. As the meat's browning in the olive oil, periodically add flour to create a nice glaze and semi-slurry. Remove the meat, start cooking the garlic and onions, then add all the veggies, the spices. Add the meat back in once the onions have cooked to translucent. That's when you add the wine, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Let the wine cook down for 5 minutes-ish, then add the tomato sauce,

Love the idea of adding a dark beer. Mine has red wine in this version.

Perry sure I'm in a manic phase, going on 2-3 hours of sleep in around 48+ hours. I feel ok, now, but that can change quick
turbothetinyturtle
Let's hope we all sleep tonight. Maybe?
voiceofnightvale
Me too.
thewalkinged
Me too but it is 11 in the morning
Illiasa
That's normally the correct answer -- mid-morning I'm wondering why I got out of bed LOL.

I write for this reason as well, often enough. That's a great idea.

This looks like the type my mom used to make... got a recipe?
turbothetinyturtle
Yes! It's rough and from years of changing it, forgetting things, adding things, and winging it, but here you go:

beef stalk, and potatoes and stir. Then, pop it into the oven with the cover on for 3 hours or so!
