Best and most tender Beef Soup/Stew Meat ?

Postby OldUsedParts » Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:26 pm

Hey Y'all, I need some ideas of what kind of meat to get to make some Beef Soup with. I know that Center Cut Tenderloins are good but is there any other cuts that aren't as pricey. :?:

Maybe a black angus stew meat.
We dredge ours in flour and then brown in a pan little. Don’t want to cook it all the way “maybe half way” and throw it into your pot and let it cook the rest of the way in your stew. The flour will make a mess of your pan but will thicken the stew up a little at the same time. Also put a little oil in the pan when browning. When done browning add a little water or beef stock to the pan and deglaze the scraps and flour. Dump it in your pot.

After browning "stew meat" , we deglaze with a broth and pressure cook for 12-15 minutes, then add the rest and go another 12-15 min. Its noticeably less chewy.

I guess a chuck would work, why not?

I’ve always used chuck roasts for my stew. A pressure cooker will make it fall apart tender.
Last stew I made, I smoked the roast for 2-3 hours then into the pressure cooker with the usual vegetable suspects. Lots of smoke flavor came through.

Don't know what kind out stew/soup you're going to make but usually chuck is a great option. Dice in 1.5" x 1.5". Brown in pan before throwing it in the pot together with the rest of veggies. Put the pot in the oven for 4 hours at 250 f.

Fixed a big pot of Beef Soup this morning with one of the 3# Chuck Roasts and it came out delicious. The meat was tender and tasty. Also made a C.I.Skillet of Martha White's Sweet Yeller Cornbread to eat with it. YUM YUM YUM

I prefer the scapula or peritoneum for teshunia. They are stitched, but while the meat is stewing, the veins become softer and give a rich taste. You won't get such a rich taste from a tenderloin.

Any beef roasts or beef is good in soup with using a beef bones. AS LONG AS the meat is NOT TO FATTY; why not to fatty; cause more grease to (coagualte grease ñ throw away after boiling it ñ it always becomes tender) and you "waste money" with too much fat.

YES, THE fat gives flavor. AFTER I have boiled the meat to either ¾ way tender or completely tender I Coagulate the grease ñ throw it out out ñ continue with the soup of choice.

MAKE vegetable beef soup
Beef chunks
onion
lots cabbage
1)15 oz. tomatoes ñ juice can add more tomato juice with water from the beef boiling n more water as it cooks
1 small can baby limas a must ñ drain rinse
cubed potatoes *
carrots
ñ in a 6 qt pot about ½ cup regular pearl barley salt ñ pepper to taste at the last.

Note~* can replace the potatoes in a hurry with 2 cans of Veg All rinsed ñ drain well but still add the lime a must as is the barley ñ not instant barley.

BEEF soups of beans ñ make soups spicy with either chop jalapeño or Rotella tomatoes.

Italian soup with beef make with adding some pasta ñ Italian seasoning - little basil ñ etc.
A mistake is sometimes a great creation
