Hot beef stew is a real elixir in the cold months. Dense, fragrant, with a strong and dense broth and plenty of vegetables, it will get you on your feet on days when you feel that your strength is running out.
This is a traditional recipe for the Bulgarian national cuisine. Bееf stew is easy to prepare, but takes a little longer. In today’s fast-paced everyday life, you can save it by using a pressure cooker to cook the meat. To get a really strong and nutritious broth, use meat with bone, preferably shank. Leave the bones in the soup literally until the last moment to release their useful substances to the maximum. You will know that this is the case if the soup is gelled after cooling.
When cooking beef stew, do not buy young beef, because it will not give you the necessary density and saturation of the broth. The soup should be dark in color.
Beef is a good source of B vitamins (vital for brain function) and iron. The proteins contained in it support the muscles, and zinc supports the immune system. It is often recommended for people with anemia. In combination with potatoes, onions, carrots and celery, it becomes a divine soup. A few slices of toast and a glass of red wine make it a really cozy winter dinner.
