For Better Beef Stew, Reach For The Anchovies
BY ELIZABETH OKOSUN
Anchovies are a secret weapon when it comes to a delicious beef stew. It amps up the stew with its umami qualities without leaving it with a fishy flavor.
Oil-packed anchovies can be added to beef stew with ease. Simply cook down a filet with the onions and garlic to build a luscious base for the stew.
To really bring out the depth of anchovies, pair them with bright and rich flavors such as tomatoes, which brighten the stew and have a sweetness that anchovies will love.
