i found this recipe and its currently cooking. im wondering if i did something wrong? I used 3 cups of water, but that doesnt seem nearly enough, and i had the soup at a low flame.

That's a great story, Mary. I think everyone in Minnesota has that one, fateful, winter day where they wake up and make the ultimate decision - do I head south, or do I put on another layer and accept a lifetime of wind chill?

Happy to hear he took his love of Minnesota stews with him. Hope you both enjoy the recipe!

Best,

Mark

Yumm...this looks like soup my grandmother used to make when I was little. I'll have to try it next week.

You are definitely Minnesotan if you miss wind chill:) Hopefully, we'll have some really cold days this winter to enjoy this beef stew even more.

I have to admit, being a Minnesota that moved out of state (for my
husband), I pinned this recipe just for the simple fact that it was
called a "Minnesota Winter Beef Stew". The discussion on wind chill just
brings me back. Miss it so much. And I agree, I think most Minnesotans would take "extreme cold" as a challenge rather than a warning...

That all being said, this recipe looks
amazing and I'm so excited to make it! Looks like something my aunties
would make :)

Update to my writeup:

I guess the National Weather Service may have received too many complaints from stubborn Minnesotans since as of today, they have scrapped the "Extreme Cold" warning system and reverted back to "Wind Chill" warnings...

I feel warm and comforted just looking at this. This is the kind of meal you want to come home to!

what a gorgeous stew! there's no better way to deal with the cold outside than to have a stew on the table, and this one looks perfect.

Missing wind chill? You are a true Minnesotan, Emily. I'm sure you will get your wish soon enough:)

Nice! Never made it to St. Cloud, but would love to explore more in northern MN.

2012-01-12T19:24:16.487-08:00

I'm a Minnesotan and know all about that windchill. Not gonna lie, I've been missing it lately :) That stew looks familiar b/c we make it with almost the exact same recipe, roughly 1x a month. It's great!

2012-01-12T17:36:00.269-08:00

Hi Heather, I shiver to think what it would be with the wind chill. The place for me in January is right here in Penang!

Yeah, the chain of lakes in Minneapolis really makes the city special. I miss biking around that area in the summer. The frozen lake pictured here is part of a small chain of lakes near St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Very appealing soup aside (recipe marked), which Minnesota lake is featured in those photos? I completed my graduate schooling at UMN - Twin Cities and fell in love with the Chain of Lakes... even during that week it was -40 *without* the windchill!

Cheers,

*Heather*

Thanks Nami, I'm sure some nights get cold enough in SF for you to cook this one up. Hope you enjoy it!

Just beautiful!

Hi Mark (and Reese)! I hope you two are enjoying your stay in Minnesota now. I just can't imagine the weather difference in two countries and this stew will make you nice and warm. I love the stew like this - big chunky ingredients.... now that I'm in warmer country, I kind of miss having that warm dish...

Thanks Rosa, always loved this dish coming in for dinner from the cold and dark of a typical Minnesota winter day.

Thanks Ray. I do miss the winter in December, but am very happy to be in Penang come January and February! The pictures here are actually a few years back during a 'White Christmas' in Minnesota. If you can believe it, there isn't a speck of white in most of Minnesota right now. Just a brown and gray Christmas, which seems to be the norm lately.

2011-12-14T18:19:16.382-08:00

This hot and hearty stew is a perfect dish for those freezing days to warm those red-frozen cheeks. Beautiful thick snow on that beautiful part of the country. Don't you miss that weather, Mark? :)
