It's okay is about the best I usually get. I hope that the next many months have good recipes to make up for this one. ;)KB from Prof Who Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948735277033941781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-61676064280468030782016-03-21T18:52:59.458-07:002016-03-21T18:52:59.458-07:00Yeah, I'm not a huge stew fan either.

As for stew meat, I always cut it into small pieces cause I can't stand hunks of meat and they take way too long to cook<br />and never really get tender.Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425003763467324952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-73419828248806205752016-03-18T11:50:26.658-07:002016-03-18T11:50:26.658-07:00I think we could have swapped posts this week.

I'm also not a stew lover, even when I've had it made correctly in a restaurant, but it still annoys me that I can't seem to get it right when I cook it at home. It's probably a pride thing. I poked around online and the consensus seems to be that I either over or undercooked the meat. Helpful.

I live at an altitude over 5000' and reduced it to 1/4 tsp (but made a lot of other changes too). Not sure why your meat didn't get tender though. Sorry for a rough day in the kitchen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
