Each package contains 1pound of organic beef stew. Beef Stew is a fairly tender cut of beef that has a lot of flavor. However, the beef stew cut of meat comes from the shoulder area of the beef and requires longer cooking times then steaks or kebobs due to the connective tissue in this cut of meat.  Braising (cooking with liquid) is the best way to prepare this cut.

Beef Stew Recipe:

 

Spiced Beef Stew with Carrots and Mint

 

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds beef stew cuts
1 cup sliced shallots (about 3 large)
8 ounces peeled baby carrots
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 1/2 cups beef broth
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint, divided

 

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Add beef to skillet and sauté until cooked to desired doneness, about 2 minutes for medium-rare. Using slotted spoon, transfer beef stew to bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add shallots and carrots and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add all spices; stir 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over; stir 30 seconds. Stir in broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until carrots are just tender, about 8 minutes. Return beef to skillet; cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped mint. Transfer stew to bowls. Sprinkle with remaining chopped mint and serve
