Classic Mulligan Stew

5 years ago

When the temperature outside begins to drop, we start reaching for hearty recipes that warm our families from the inside out—and this mulligan stew is our go-to. Mulligan stew is traditionally known as a way to use up leftover meats and vegetables in the fridge, but we like to serve this stew with crunchy peppers and cubed beef brisket. Trust us; it’s a hit every time it hits the dinner table.

You can prepare this in fewer than two hours on the stove top, or you can use a slow cooker on low to let it cook all day. Be sure to make enough of this filling, hearty stew for leftovers the next day!

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound beef brisket, cut into 1-inch cubes with the fat trimmed

PREPARATION
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Roll the beef cubes in flour and brown them in the oil. Once browned, remove the meat from the pot.
