J Kenji’s All-American beef stew was my introduction to Serious Eats. This dish is certainly in the top 10 most requested meals in my house… but only on the weekends. The nearly 4 hour cook time (if you are not a time/prep management wizard) is a lengthy wait for a meal, but most definitely worth the time investment. I recommend getting your mise en place together the night before, if you are not great with time management and tend to procrastinate, when it comes time to cook. It is a Saturday/Sunday meal in my house.
Rating: 9/10
Note: I almost always substitute sardines for anchovies.
