A Squeeze Of One Classic Sauce Levels Up Your Beef Stew
BY Elizabeth Okosun
While many people stick with a familiar beef stew recipe they have used numerous times, you can elevate the flavor of your dish by using barbecue sauce.
Some use a few extra ingredients like tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce in their recipes to give the stew a tangy, umami twist that balances out the heady beef.
Thanks to barbecue sauce’s blend of ingredients, it can achieve the same result as those other extra add-ons, making it a top choice to add more flavor to beef stew.
You can add a tablespoon or two of barbecue sauce to a simmering pot of stew for a subtle enhancement or go with a 1/3 cup for a slightly more prominent taste.
Depending on your stew’s flavor, you may want to experiment with different types of barbecue sauce to get the taste you’re looking for.
