Auntie said the meat was hard for her teeth to chew. The meat has not been cooked long enough. Cook the meat alone for 2 hours, then add the vegetables, cook another 1 hour to 1 1/2 additional hours. Adjust the time depending on how old and tough the cow was. The meat should be fall apart tender. An Auntie without any teeth should be able to eat stew.

That looks so good. Cook knows how to cook! The look of enjoyment on the folks faces...cannot miss it.

Greetings from Canada. American? My mum was English and made it before ever even seeing the USA (or Canada for that matter). Peace, love and bellbottoms

As a Canadian .. our country is multicultural .. many differnet religions and cultures .. so the food reflexs that. To get to know a person/people .. sit down and eat with them .. get to know thier culture .. don't make assumptions!

Stew is a soup with a thick broth and the pieces are cut up smaller so they are bite size. If you start cooking the beef by coating it in seasoned flour and Browning it before you add the vegetables and beef stock, it has time to get tender and is able to be eaten by auntie. Hopefully she took it home and cooked it the rest of the way and was able to enjoy it. And definitely a winter time dish served with fresh buttered bread to soak up all of the broth. I hope that's when you recorded this video... I don't know how many Australian, New Zealand and African fans you have but definitely makes me sweat more sitting here in the summer heat watching them eat hot stew. LOL

Beef stew and beef stool are two VERY different things. :)

The Beef Stew looked great, but I think that the meat and vegetables should be cut into smaller bite-sized pieces to make it easier to eat. I also like to have a slice or two of buttered bread (double roti) with my stew. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

This isn't pot roast but I personally enjoy either with a warm bowl of rice. Roti sounds good with it too.

Meat and vegetables need to be cut smaller for sure. Cook meat for a couple of hours with beef broth or water with seasoning and then add vegetables for a couple of hours if not more. All should be tender if not cooked longer till meat falls apart easily. Stew can take up to 4-6 hours if not longer depending on the cooking method used.

Irish stew meat or vegan option carrots parsnips potatoes onions thyme pepper corn flour to thicken.My favourite meal on a winters night🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀🍀❤

Beef stew is TENDER,with carrots, potatoes, onion garlic,bay leaf( some put in peas)

I would serve it on rice so the sauce gets soaked in.

Next .. wild rice soup. I can ship the rice if needed.

Every cook makes theyr stew (curry) in their own way, and beef stews need to be cooked for a long time for the meat to be tender (and the cut of meat is important as well)

My observation is that the translator says it's winter there. However, the date on the video says July 12, 2024 and Pakistan is in the Northern hemisphere which is in the middle of summer right now. Was this filmed in the winter and is just now being posted?

I agree, those pieces should be alot smaller.

I like with buttered rolls or bread, and plenty of milk I've thought that stew must be it's own type of curry If you ever visit America try southern U.S near the border so you can also visit mexico

My beef stew looks nothing like that! I'm a 73-year old 4th generation native Texan and have been making beef stew since I was old enough to learn to cook. My recipe was handed down from my grandmother and mother. The meat was cooked on low heat for hours to make it fall-apart tender. The vegetables and meat are cut into smaller bite-sized pieces and while the broth is thicker than in a soup, there is definitely a lot of broth and appears as a soup. There's nothing better than dunking bread into the broth to eat along with the meat and vegetables. My broth is homemade with the beef cooking in a pot of water along with chopped white onions and seasonings. Some people may add beef stock but I dont. My broth is a tomato-based broth with crushed tomatoes being added while cooking. My seasonings are basic: salt, black pepper, chopped onion, and plenty of garlic powder.

Auntie Sobia’s hijab is beautiful!

Looked a bit more like pot roast than beef stew? Not sure... Beef stew is more of a thick soup with a kind of meaty gravy, and very soft/tender meat & veggies. Anyway, looked tasty whatever it was...

The meat should have been easy for Auntie to eat if it was slowly cooked in liquid for 2-3 hours. It should be very tender, still it looks good overall! 👍🏼

I like adding Parmesan Cheese on top of mine 🤷🏻‍♂

Beef Stew in it's various forms... Has been around for many centuries... Well before the US was even formed... There are many claims that some countries make about it's origins... But certainly Beef Stew was around in Hungary in the tenth century... So well before it was introduced by settlers to America... The Beef Stew served here looked to have not been cooked for long enough... The Beef should've been cut into smaller chunks... And the same goes for the Vegetables... They needed to be cut into much smaller pieces... When it's made in a slow cooker... It can take up to six hours to soften both the Meat and the Vegetables... Once made tender... The Meat & Vegetables should simply melt in the mouth with hardly any need to chew... But sadly the Beef Stew served here... Looked like it needed cooking for much longer than it was... And to add a little extra taste and texture to the Beef Stew... They could have added traditional British Suet Dumplings to the Beef Stew... I'm sure that they would definitely have appreciated the softer slow cooked Beef Stew & Dumplings version.

Auntie would have been able to enjoy it more if you put it in a blender on pulse to break it up so it doesnt require much chewing at least the meat chunks if not everything

The meat in beef stew should not be hard. It should just fall apart with a spoon and in your mouth. The meat needs to cook at least 2 hours in hot beef broth....then ad the vegetables. The vegetables should be cut in bite size pieces. That is my preference...Cook the meat and vegies another hour. Ad salt and pepper as you wish. I also have a minced clove of garlic in mine. We eat Beef Stew or a Pot Roast at least one time every 2 weeks during the winter...I cook it all in a crockpot...

Maybe they could try some irish stew🍲🍲🍲🍀🍀🍀

This would taste great with roti!

Where are you that it's winter now? I thought Auntie Sobia and the crew were from Pakistan?

I have a very good recipe for beef stew.

Beef Stew is not actually an American dish.It's origins are both British and Irish.

Again with the American!

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

Beef stew should be eaten with a spoon….not a fork. This is not traditional beef stew.

America doesn’t have a truly American dish. It’s a blend of very different cultures. Beef Stew is definitely popular in America though.

Oh Auntie, I feel sad you have bad teeth and can't enjoy a good meal. I HATE having pain in my mouth and bad teeth.

America isn't The West, you know?

It’s not an American dish
