Canned food has a rich history. After all, the first attempts to preserve products for their longer storage were used already in the times of Tutankhamen: archaeologists have found an analogue of modern canned food during excavations. Naturally, the development of canning significantly expanded the possibilities of people. For example, it became possible to go on long hikes without the threat of spoiling health from malnutrition. In most cases, a ready-made stew is bought. However, such a product (and it will be an order of magnitude tastier and healthier) is quite possible to prepare yourself.

Cooking homemade beef stew

Home-made stew is a guarantee that natural meat is used in the preparation of canned food. So, this dish will be both useful and nutritious. At the same time, its big plus is that for cooking beef stew itself is not required a large number   products.

The recipe for homemade beef stew

Before you start cooking the stew, you need to choose the right meat. After all, not every part of the cow carcass can be fully preserved. It is best to choose a sirloin. As an option, you can stop already on the cut blanks, such as azu or goulash. But it is not recommended to take veal meat: despite the fact that it is considered more dietary and tender, it is noticeably inferior to beef in taste.

Naturally, there is no question of using frozen meat for cooking stews. First, such meat can be old and dry. Secondly, frozen beef does not have the desired taste.

Remember that in the process of cooking the meat is reduced by 40%. Therefore, take it more than you need a ready-made stew. It is also necessary to prepare in advance the lard, with which you will pour the prepared stew to keep it better.

For the preparation of homemade stew, you will need: - Beef - 1 kg; - pork lard - 200 g; - bay leaf - 10 pcs .; - spices; - peppercorns to taste.

Wash the meat, dry well and cut into large pieces. Fat cut into small cubes. Salt the meat, pepper and sprinkle with spices. Next, take the jar (it is best to use half-liter and liter). At the bottom, put a few leaves of laurel, then put the meat. Top with a crown design of lard and peppercorns, as well as the remaining bay leaves.

Remember that the pot must be sterile. Therefore, before you start laying products into it, be sure to sterilize the container. In addition, it is desirable to additionally lubricate the cover with grease so that it does not oxidize.

Cover with foil so that in case of excessive appearance of juice from meat, it does not sprinkle in all directions in the oven and does not chadil. After put the jar in a cold oven and turn it on to warm up to a temperature of 180 degrees. When you realize that the oven is well heated, reduce the temperature to 160 degrees and leave to stew for 3 hours. Try not to open the door at this time, so that the bank will not break due to the temperature drop. After the time, turn off the oven, but do not open the door and do not reach the stew until it cools. When you get out of the oven roll up the lid and store for storage in a cool place, like a cellar.

Cook beef stew can be another way. For this, meat is enough to cook. And this is not as difficult as it seems. To prepare such a stew, you will need: - Beef - 2 kg; - salt, pepper to taste; - bay leaf - 2 pcs .; - water - 2 tbsp.

Cut the beef meat into slices and put it in a saucepan. Then add water and put the meat on the fire, let it boil. Then reduce heat to low and leave meat to stew. After 3-4 hours, salt and add spices. Leave to cook for another couple of hours. Try to open the pot less often. Turn off the stove and leave the stew to cool. After transfer to the prepared jars and roll up.

Meat stew is an excellent delicacy that you can cook with your own hands, at home. Her recipe is extremely simple, and at the exit you get delicious dish, which can be consumed in a separate version, or added to various rich soups, porridge and stews.

Beef stew can become something of a “strategic stock” for you, and when you go camping or have a picnic, you can grab a jar of delicacy with you.

Homemade stew is tasty, simple and healthy, so we strongly recommend that you try to cook it yourself. It is best to do this in an ordinary oven, although some prefer to cook beef stew in an autoclave, a slow cooker and other appliances.

In fact, it is most acceptable to cook the preservation in the oven. The cooking methods in the autoclave, the slow cooker and the oven certainly differ among themselves. So, how can you make a delicious, juicy and flavorful beef stew at home?

Choosing meat for preservation

First of all, in order for your canning to turn out really tasty, nourishing and appetizing, you should choose the “right” meat. This requires any recipe for this dish.

It's no secret that modern standards for the production of canned food on an industrial scale are far from ideal. Now nothing is prepared according to GOST, and therefore you can not be sure of the quality of the purchased products. In fact, in canned food produced in the factory, not the best quality meat is put. This is something like a waste-free production, for which we pay not only money, but also our own health. Apart from the fact that low-grade raw materials are used for ordinary factory stews, we should not forget about the ubiquitous additives and flavor enhancers, which also do not inspire any confidence.

To make your preservation tasty, choose to cook it fresh, young meat. But veal for these purposes is not recommended to buy. Despite the fact that this meat is considered the most dietary, tender and useful, in preservation it is much inferior to traditional beef in taste.

It should be understood that not every part of the cow carcass will be equally suitable for canning. The most acceptable would be the acquisition of a beef sirloin, in which there are no bones and large veins. Be sure to make sure that the meat is fresh - in no case should it be weathered and have a foreign smell. Ideal if you can get the product right from the hands of farmers.

It is out of the question to purchase a frozen piece of meat for cooking. First, after defrosting it may be that it is old and dry. And secondly, frozen and thawed beef will lose all their taste properties, which are mandatory for high-quality preservation.

Meat preparation

After buying high-quality meat, it will be necessary to prepare it at least qualitatively for further suppression. Remember that in the process of cooking the product will be almost full by half, which means that you should purchase about 40% more than you want to get stews.

In any recipe for beef stew at home, there is a phased preliminary preparation of the main raw materials:



  • Remove the veins and bones, if any;
  • Buy lard separately. When cooking meat in a pan or a slow cooker, it will need to be melted for further preservation. So the finished dish can be stored longer, and in addition, will acquire savory taste. Crush it in miniature cubes;
  • Beef cut into larger pieces, preferably even;
  • Decide in advance on what seasonings and spices will be present in your preservation.

You just have to decide exactly how your dish will be cooked. We have already mentioned that the meat can be cooked separately in any convenient way, and only then can it be rolled into jars. But much more acceptable would be the option of extinguishing directly in the bank - so canned food will be incredibly rich in taste and tender at the same time.

Traditional cooking recipe in a can

How to cook beef stew in a jar? Despite the seeming complexity of such a procedure, you will not need much time and effort here.

So, for cooking the stew, you will need:

  • Young and fresh beef - 1 kilogram;
  • Pork lard - 200 grams;
  • Bay leaf;
  • Spices - to taste;
  • Peas - to taste.

Prepare the stew, following this instruction:



  • During the fire, try not to open the door. ovenin order to avoid bursting the jar due to the temperature difference;
  • Leave the meat to stew for three hours, then turn off the oven, but do not reach the jar;
  • Remove the tare only when the stew has cooled directly in the oven;
  • As soon as you do this - immediately roll up the container and put it in a dry, cool place, such as a cellar.

As you can see, there is nothing difficult in preparing the preservation according to such a recipe. But if you do not want or are afraid to stew the meat right in the jar, you can do with more simple cooking instructions.

How to cook stew in a pan or a slow cooker?

If you do not want to cook directly in the oven, you can stew the meat in any other way. Then you will only decompose it into a container and pour melted fat. After that, you need to roll up the cans and also remove the canned food in a cool place.

How to cook stew in a pan:

  • Put the meat in a deep frying pan and cover it with water, so that the surface is covered with it;
  • Put on a medium heat and start cooking;
  • After boiling water, make a weak fire and leave to stew;
  • After a few hours (preferably 3-4), salt the meat and add any spices to it (preferably also limited to peas and bay leaves);
  • Leave to cook for another couple of hours, if necessary add a little water;
  • Simmer the meat only under the lid, and try to open it as little as possible during the cooking process;
  • When the dish is ready, turn off the stove and leave the meat to cool;
  • After cooling, transfer it to sterile jars and roll up.

Beef stew in a slow cooker is prepared on the same principle, but here everything will be automated. The device must be put on the "quenching" mode for a long time.

If you cook the stew in exactly this way, after sorting it by can, be sure to pour it with melted pork fat. This is necessary to preserve longer stored and more nutritious. Since beef itself is devoid of a large amount of fat, it is for this that lard is taken. It can also soften meat a little and make canned food more tender.

Tara must be sterile. It can be sterilized according to the classical principle - by boiling water and drying.

When folding the preservation of the banks, they must be completely dry. If there is even a drop of water on them, you risk at the end spoiling both the food and the stew obtained by your own efforts.

Try not to add onion and garlic (fresh) to the stew. Remember this is not normal meat stew, which means that it is important to follow the rules for its long-term storage. Unfortunately, the stew, flavored with garlic and onions, quickly deteriorates.

Enjoy your meal!
