Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil for frying
- 2 1/2 lbs pork shoulder 1.2 kg, stew meat
- 3.5 ounces Bacon smoked, 100g
- 2 onion medium or large
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 6 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beer 240ml
- 2 cups beef broth or chicken broth, good-quality
- 3 carrot medium/large
- 10 ounces button mushrooms 280g
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the meat into 1 - 1 1/2 inch cubes (3-4 cm). Cut the bacon into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes. Chop the onions, finely chop garlic.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot. Brown the meat in 3-4 batches the following way: add the first batch of the meat to the pot, making sure the meat pieces are not overcrowded, cook over medium-high or high heat until nicely browned at the bottom, sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and turn on the other side using kitchen tongs. Brown the other side of the meat then transfer to a plate and add the next batch of meat to the pot.
- When all the pork is browned, add the bacon to the pot and cook for a couple of minutes, until browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot. Add the onions and cook for a couple of minutes over medium-low heat, until soft.
- Add the garlic, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add the pork and bacon back to the pot. Add beer, bay leaves, and hot broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to the lowest, cover the pot and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- When the time is almost up, cut the carrots into thin slices (about 4-5mm, which is a little thinner than 1/4-inch) and mushrooms into large chunks. Add them to the pot.
- Make flour-corn starch slurry: add flour and corn starch into a cup with 1/4 cup of cold water/broth, stir until smooth. Add to the pot.
- Cook, uncovered, for 45 minutes, or until the pork is very tender and the sauce thickened. Stir the stew a couple of times during this time.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Bacon - use preferably diced slab of bacon or thick-cut bacon. If using thick-cut bacon it's better to cook it until crispy, reserve it, then sprinkle it on top of the stew.
