Describe a classic comfort food in your world. — #WorldEmberNoms

Saflinian Beef Stew is a common dinner meal in the Kingdom of Saflin during the colder months. It is regarded as a comfort food by many of those who grew up in Saflin. It is cited as bringing forth memories of snowy days and happy families.

Recipe

The relatively simple preparation and the hearty ingredients of Saflinian Beef Stew make it a favorite dish of many, particularly in the city of Napoza and its surrounding areas. The majority of the cooking time required for this dish is letting the ingredients simmer.

Ingredients

Saflinian Beef Stew is made using beef stew meat, onions, potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, portobello mushrooms, button mushrooms, dry red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, vegetable oil (for cooking the beef), dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Most of the ingredients are cooked separately before being added to the stew. As this stew is more commonly prepared in winter months, canned vegetables are typically used instead of fresh ones.

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes; remove meat and set aside.
2. Add onion and tomato paste to the same pot; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Return beef to the pot; stir in beef broth and wine. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
3. Add potatoes, carrots, green beans, rosemary, and thyme; simmer, covered, for 45 minutes, adding some water if stew gets too thick.
4. Add mushrooms and peas; cook and stir until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
