As we reach the quarter mark of winter, the cooler temperatures invite us to slow down and enjoy hearty, nourishing meals. Now is the perfect time to savor comforting dishes that warm you from the inside out while building a strong nutritional foundation for the season ahead.
This week, we’re highlighting some of our favorite cuts of beef and pork to inspire your winter cooking. From pork belly to beef stew meat, roasts, shanks, and bones, we’ve got everything you need to create delicious, satisfying meals for your family.
To help get you started, here’s a simple recipe for a classic homemade beef stew:
Easy Beef Stew Recipe
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 2 tbsp Bariani extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 potatoes, cubed
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef stew meat on all sides, then remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté the onion and carrots until softened.
3. Add the tomato paste and stir for a minute before returning the beef to the pot.
4. Pour in the beef broth, add the potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 1.5–2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld.
Pair it with a slice of crusty bread, and you’ve got a meal to remember.
