We all turn to warm meals to comfort us during the cool fall nights, like beef stew!
However, today, we’re adding our twist to the traditional meal and turning it into a beef and chestnut stew.
Adding chestnut to your stew adds a whole new layer of a buttery, nutty flavor that enhances the overall meal.
Plus, the texture of chestnut provides a slight contrast to the softness of beef, making every bite a pleasant balance between flavors and textures.

Can I use a different type of meat?

Ingredients
- Minute steak roast
- Some turmeric
- Whole allspice
- Bay leaves
Sauce:
- 2 onions (cut into quarters)
- 5 garlic cloves
- A bushel of celery
- Chopped parsley
- Turmeric
- 1 tbsp. date syrup
- Cumin
- 1 tbsp. chicken soup mix
- 5 whole allspice berries
- Kosher salt
- Coarse black pepper
- 2 tbsp. pomegranate concentrate (or teriyaki sauce)
- Peeled chestnuts (ready-to-eat)
Instructions
- Place the roast in hot water with some turmeric, allspice, and bay leaves until it’s soft. Poke the roast with a fork; if it goes in and out easily, it’s entirely soft and ready to go!
- Strain the roast from the excess water and allow it to cool.
- Once it’s cool enough, you can start slicing. Avoid slicing before it has cooled down entirely.
Sauce:
- Sear the roast slices in a wide pot to seal them. This only takes a few minutes; then, you can remove them.
- Fry some onions in the same pot until they turn golden.
- Add a nice amount of celery (cut with its stalks), some chopped parsley, five garlic cloves, and fry with the onions.
- Mix in the turmeric, tablespoon of date syrup, and cumin.
- Lower the flame to let it steam for about 10 minutes.
- Place the sliced roast back in the pot and add about 1½ cups from the meat gravy mixed with a tablespoon of chicken soup mix.
- Sprinkle five whole allspice berries, kosher salt, and coarse black pepper, and mix until well combined.
- Let the mixture cook for about an hour on low flame.
- Drizzle two spoons of pomegranate concentrate and add the ready-to-eat peeled chestnuts.
- Cook the stew until the sauce is just as thick as you can see in the picture here.
