- 2 cups Carrots cut into 1 inch pieces
- 8 to 10 Garlic Cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme chopped (if using dry use ½) if using dry use ½
- ¼ cup Sherry
- ½ cup Ruby Port
- 4 cups Beef stock (or enough to cover the meat)
- 1 cup Chicken stock
Instructions
- In a Dutch Oven or a Fry Pan, heat about 2 tablespoons of clarified butter and when hot add the meat and caramelized it until golden brown. (if using the same pot remove the beef and sauté the onion).
- In a Fry Pan, add 2 more tablespoons of clarified butter and when hot add the onion and sauté until golden brown. Remove the onion and set aside and sauté the leeks and shallots. Remove set aside and add the mushrooms.
- Back in the Dutch Oven, add the meat, onion, shallots, leeks, mushrooms. Add the celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, Sherry, Port, stocks (be sure to use enough stock to cover the meat. Add half of the parsley, mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to boil and reduce the heat to very low and cook until the meat is tender and can be cut with a spoon.
- If you have a cooked roux you can add it at the end. If you do not have a cooked roux, you’ll have to add flour to thicken. HOWEVER BUT BE SURE TO ADD IT ABOUT 20/30 MINUTES BEFORE THE END. This will give plenty of time for the flour to cook and you will not have to worry for 2 to 3 hours that the flour will stick to the bottom of your pot. Be sure to season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Chef JP I have made your chicken and beef stock recipes. There are times when you use very little stock in your dishes or sauces.I hate to thaw out 16 oz or 32oz of stock when I might not need more then 3 to 4 oz of stock. Have you ever used the product Better Than Bouillon and if so what do you think about it?
Many Thanks
