Beef Stew w/Bacon and Mashed Potatoes

Good day my friends! Here are one my really easy and tasty beef stew with bacon recipe I like to make when winter is coming. This is a great dish to serve at a gathering of friends and family, simple tastes that everyone likes! Hope some of you actually try to make this, you will not regret it! Here is the recipes, have a nice day!

Beef Stew w/Bacon

Ingredients

600 gr Boneless beef (Sirloin or rib-eye steak)
10 gr Salt
5 gr Pepper
150 gr Bacon
350 gr Onion
350 gr Carrot
330 gr Red Wine (make sure you look at the ingredients because most red whine you buy has a little salt and pepper. It can make a huge difference in taste, take that in consideration when you add salt and pepper)
1 tablespoon Tomato Purée
3 Garlic boats
1 gr Thyme
1 Bay leaf
200 gr Mushrooms
Wheat flour for sifting

APPROACH

1. Cut meat into cubes (not too small).
2. Brown the meat in small portions with strong heat. Put into a saucepan.
3. Boil the frying pan between each browning (and empty it into the saucepan with the meat).
4. Add salt and pepper.
5. Cut bacon into strips and brown them. Cut the onions into boat like slices (personally I like really thin slices). fry to the onions until it gets a golden colour. Add it to the pot.
6. Carrot is cleaned and cut into slices. Add to the pan with red wine, tomato purée, chopped garlic, thyme and bay leaf.
7. Let it simmer until the meat is tender (about an hour).
8. Brown the cleaned, cut mushrooms and added to the pot.
9. Add flour to a little water then add a little by little to the pot until you get the thickness you prefer
10. Allow it to simmer for approx. 15-20 minutes.

Mashed potatoes

Ingredients

700 gr Potatoes
230 gr Cream
100 gr Butter
15 gr Salt
10 gr White pepper
30 gr Chives

Approach:

1. Peel and cook the potatoes until they are tender, preferably in smaller pieces, so it goes faster, about 12-15min
2. Pour the water out and mash with warm potatoes with cream to the desired consistency
3. Season with salt and pepper, add butter and stir it in at the end
4. Add the chives right before serving
