Beef Stew with Puff Pastry #SundaySupper

Hi Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper we teamed up with Gallo Family Vineyards to share with you our favorite Fall comfort food. When I think of comfort food a few things come to mind, meat, potatoes and bread. Ahhh, all the comforts of home and pure happiness in my belly. With all those good things in mind, I decided to try my hand one more time with puff pastry and add it to a family favorite, beef stew. You mention beef stew in my house and everyone gets all excited. I can guarantee everyone will be sitting around the Sunday table if beef stew is being served.

I have to tell you this dish came out fantastic. I was so excited when I saw the puff pastry, well puff up! I think it’s one of the most beautiful dishes I have ever made. Not only did the puff pastry turn out, but so did the filling. The vegetables and beef were fork tender and surround by a fabulous tomato and Cabernet Sauvignon sauce. All I can say is yummy! Oh and how can I forget to tell you, but the smell of the dish cooking made my house smell heavenly for hours.

To make the beef stew, I first browned my beef in flour and olive oil. I took the beef out and  added  all my vegetables, beef broth and canned tomatoes.  I have to say the flour made a nice roux. Once it came to a boil, I added my beef back into the pot and added a 1/2 cup of Gallo Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. I slow cooked it on my stove top for 2 hours, just until the meat was tender.  I have to say the Gallo Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon added a deeper flavor to my traditional beef stew. The Cabernet Sauvignon is a full bodied, dry wine with hints of black berry and black currents. It also pairs very well with the dish.

When making this recipe I do have to admit I made a lot of filling, which is fine by me. That just means more leftovers for lunch. To add the puff pastry, I took my filling and added it to a 9″ pie plate. Just remember don’t over fill the pie pan with your beef stew.  I unrolled my puff pastry and added it to the top of the pie dish. I crimped the corners like I would a pie. I cut a few slits to let the steam escape and baked it in the oven for 30 minutes. It turned out simply perfect.  You can check out the picture of the puff pastry before I baked it here.
