Beef Stew with Mushrooms and Gremolata

Beef Stew

Beef Stew and especially Beef cheek stew is very trendy at the moment and those who can stomach the idea of eating cheeks, pay top dollar for the delicacy.

Your beef stew can however also be made with chuck, brisket, shin, leg, blade, oxtail and of course the much sought after beef cheeks. I was looking to find beef cheeks at a reasonable price and after not much success, I found the most beautiful boneless shin. I could not resist.

The thing is with beef stew that you want  the lean cuts. They don’t have much fat, but they do have a connective tissue called collagen, which breaks down over a long period of cooking time and becomes fork tender and delicious. I added only mushrooms to my beef stew, no other vegetables and then I finished it off with fresh, lemony gremolata which takes this stew to a whole new level. Enjoy!
