    Really Good Gluten-free Beef Stew

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    In my house, fall and winter cooking means lots of stews, soups and casseroles. Beef stew is one of my true favorites, and one that I can almost never order at a restaurant, because it almost always contains wheat, either as a thickener, or to dredge the meat for browning.

    Photo: CC--tibbygirlBeef stew is a dish that goes well by itself, or which can be served over rice or gluten-free noodles for a heartier meal. Here is a recipe that will deliver a delicious gluten-free stew that will keep your hungry eaters coming back for more.

    Ingredients:
    2 pounds stew beef
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 cups water
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 gluten-free beef bouillon cube (I often use Celifibr's Vegetarian)
    5 tablespoons Just Like Lipton's Gluten-Free Soup Mix (Recipe below)
    3 whole cloves garlic, peeled
    2 bay leaves
    1 large onion, sliced
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon pepper
    ½ teaspoon paprika
    ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
    4-5 large carrots, sliced
    3-4 potatoes, cubed
    3 celery stalks, chopped
    2 tablespoons cornstarch

    Directions:
    Heat oil in a large stew pot. Stir in meat and cook lightly until meat browns. Add water, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, bay leaves, onion, salt, sugar, pepper, paprika, soup mix, bouillon cube, and allspice.

    Cover and simmer on low heat for 1½ hours. Remove bay leaves and garlic cloves.

    Add potatoes, carrots and celery. Cover and cook another 30 to 40 minutes.

    To thicken gravy, get a large bowl, and mix ¼ cup water and the cornstarch until smooth. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of liquid from the stew pot. Slowly stir mixture into the stew pot. Stir and cook until it reaches desired thickness.

    Gluten-free Dry Onion Soup Mix

    Ingredients:
    1½ cups dried minced onion
    ¼ cup beef bouillon powder (gluten-free)
    2½ tablespoons onion powder
    ½ teaspoon crushed celery seed
    ½ teaspoon sugar

    Directions:
    Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. About 5 tablespoons equals a single 1¼-ounce package of Lipton's mix.

    This recipe of beef stew does not help when you are also allergic to corn (starch) and soy (worcestershire sauce). Substitutions would be nice to offer alongside the recipe. Please?

    Allergies are frustrating, I know, but just use Google to find alternatives for the specific items you're concerned about yourself. Lee & Perrins in the US is soy and gluten free, although I'd write or call them and ask about corn (just because it says "Natural Flavors" which usually means wheat, but obviously doesn't in this case, as they specifically state its gluten free.) and try oat or potato flour instead of corn starch. Took me less than 2 minutes to Google that info, probably about the same amount of time it took you to write that review. Unless you want to author an allergy algorithm that automatically substitutes accepted ingredients for unacceptable ingredients in every recipes (and expect a lawsuit every now and then when the alternative's ingredients change and you don't immediately update that database), don't expect any article to list every single alternative to the millions of combinations of allergies that are out there. Plus, you just may not even like the basic flavor of this particular free recipe. Experiment and write your suggestions and help others out.

    LOVE this recipe. My entire family loves it. I make it exactly as listed however sometimes I leave the corn starch out so it is more of a thin broth. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

    This classic rich, hearty, Irish-style lamb stew is a sure-to-please favorite. I like to eat it warmed up after a night in fridge. I like to work my way through a big pot of this stew over several days, feeding whatever guests happen to roll through the door at mealtime.
    Ingredients:
    ½ pound bacon, thick-cut, diced
    2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 pounds carrots, diced
    1 ½ pounds potatoes, diced
    1 large yellow onion
    3 large leeks, white part only, halved, washed and thinly sliced
    1 clove garlic, minced
    3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
    1 cup beef broth
    2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    ¼ teaspoon thyme
    2 Bay leaves
    ¼ cup white wine
    1 teaspoon sugar
    Directions:

    Blackening is a really fun way to cook fish. Nothing seems to beat the bold flavor that comes from a perfectly seared crust. Blackening fish on a cast-iron skillet creates intense heat and smoke so always work in a well-ventilated kitchen.
    The rub in this recipe is one of many variations on a classic Cajun rub and is also perfect for chicken, beef steaks, or even vegetables. You can mix it up by serving different fish; snapper and swordfish would also hold up really well. Serving fish with lemon not only cuts the intense flavor of the spices, but also gives the fish a refreshing bite.
    Ingredients:
    4 firm catfish fillets, 6-8 ounces each
    ½ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
    1 large lemon, cut into 4 wedges
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon marjoram
    1 teaspoon ...

    As a kid, my mother always served the same store-bought potato salad. It came in a silo-sized tub and looked more like a jell-o mold than a summertime salad. This is not that potato salad. The red potatoes add a splash of color and play up the salty bacon and creamy buttermilk play nicely. You can substitute the milk with a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar for a little kick. This recipe is likely to become your new picnic classic.
    Ingredients:
    3 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
    1 pound bacon, chopped
    2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
    1 red onion, diced
    ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
    ¾ cup mayonnaise
    ¼ cup buttermilk
    3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Directions:
    Place potatoes in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat an...
