Pork Stew
- 1 1/2 lb pork shoulder, cubed
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (olive oil works)
- 4 cup water
- 1 cup beer
- 2 tbsp beef bullion
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 potatoes, cut up
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 1/2 cabbage, quartered (optional)
- Season the flour with salt and pepper and coat the meat (I do this in a large plastic zip-top bag)
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Brown the meat for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the browned meat from the pot.
- Add onion and cook until it starts to go translucent.
- Add water and beer and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot as you go to release the tasty cooked-on bits.
- (You can use water only if you prefer).
- Add bullion, potato, carrot, and meat.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low.
- Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, until meat and veg is tender and stew thickens.
- Season if necessary.
- If you're using salted bullion/stock, you probably won't need to add additional salt, so be sure to taste!
- Add the cabbage to the pot, cover, and summer for another 10 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
- (Optional)
- Your stew should thicken from the meat's flour coating and the potatoes, but if it's too thin, dissolve a tablespoon of corn starch or flour in 2 tablespoons water and gradually add it to the stew.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens.
