Cooking Instructions
-
Begin by frying the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until crispy and golden. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside. In batches, brown the stew meat in the bacon fat, then remove and set aside the meat as well.
-
In the same skillet, melt the butter in the bacon fat over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, caraway seeds, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for another 2 minutes to fully incorporate the flour. Add the vinegar and tomatoes, creating a thick paste.
-
Pour in the beef stock, beer, salt, water, red bell peppers, reserved bacon, and browned meat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 45 minutes. Add the potatoes, parsnip, celery, and carrots, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
-
Stir in the breadcrumbs to thicken the stew. Add the cabbage and peas, and let the stew simmer for an additional 5 minutes. (For best results, let the stew cool, refrigerate overnight, and reheat before serving.)
