Me? Bad influence?
Only with those who drink red wine
With cubed beef from the butchers, none of this supermarket stuff, it was left for 2 days soaking in a hoppy beer. Red wine also works well too.
There is really no need to brown the meat beforehand. In fact, we've found it's better not to do as any residual oil does show in the final gravy.
We cheat a bit and use Knorr Rich Beef stock pot for liquid then thicken if needed with gravy granules.
Any root veg must go in the bottom of the pot as they take longer too cook.
And, most important, dumplings must be homemade. They take a jiffy, bought Bessie stuff is crap.
I know Nick, you hate dumplings

This is only half the story. Mrs Pegleg will forward her recipe to you for a large financial fee
In North Staffordshire, a beef stew is called 'Lobby'. Because you lob everything into the pot.
But not old socks and dirty underwear

A little bird told me you struggled finding underwear, must have been lobbed

Dumplings, hate the things,

For unbelievably tender meat consider Sous Vide - not a cheap investment, and some might think it too fancy or too much trouble, but produces the most amazing results. Very good for cheap cuts - flank, short rib etc - but also produces the best pork belly I've ever tasted. Can be used for veg as well, we do beetroot and such like. Also good for keeping fruit whole for crumbles, tarts etc.

Also, if you're into soups then consider a pressure cooker, reduces cooking time considerably and good for lots of other things too.

a quick google and thats a water oven? Never heard of them TBH

My brother in his OTT Siemens applianced kitchen, has a steam oven and that it good for doing some foods in Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Going to do chicken at the weekend, simple whole chicken rested on a couple of carrots and a onion and cooked for 10 hours

So far had chilli which was great and tonight's beef stew was fantastic

Particularly useful if you live busy lives (which I don't anymore) . Make it in the morning and dinner is ready when you get home.
Not such a bad influence after all
