Roux is bad for stew. It is like you choose one or the other because roux flour will soak up too much and get lost in a stew.

Huh? A stew is meant to be thicker than soup, no?

Regardless, I like my stews a little thicker. That said, you can adjust a roux to be less thick. But I don't think I'd make a stew without a roux

a roux wont soak up anything unless you dont actually cook it

its there to thicken and add flavor

Whenever I make roux for my gumbo it is THICK. Not sure how it would work to be a stew.

are you using a roux and okra both? Cause if you do that you want to make a smaller roux since okra also thickens

I do roux, butter, and gumbo file. I'll use okra sometimes but not every time.

Coat the beef cubes in flour, then quickly brown them before continuing with the recipe.

Damn you, you beat me to it. MSG makes everything better. Every home cook should have it on their spice rack. (Accent is a popular brand if you don't know what you're looking for.)

I wouldn't say that it makes everything better, if you put MSG in a cake I'll give you a weird look.
It makes all savory foods better though.

I almost said "everything that is supposed to taste savory", but went for hyperbole instead.

it depends on the cook of the contents. The contents must maintain their structural integrity while being tender and juicy. I personally recommend cooking meat stews in a pressure cooker to achieve that tenderness. You also have to take into account your veggies and how long it takes to cook them.

Contents are another thing that makes a great stew. Don't be modest, pile those hearty root veggies in. Mushrooms? Toss em' in! Bored of plain sweet onions? Try shallots or pearl onions! Basically it should be a bunch of goodies in a thick broth seasoned with herbs, spices and alcohol.

You don't necessarily have to use pure MSG. Soy sauce, meat stock and/or fondue can also be used to add umami into a dish.

Another key taste to add is acid. Balsamic vinegar and red wine are good options for a meat dish.

No it doesn't need to be pure, but I enjoy using it as a simple wrenching to a taste I'm going for.
Same thing with adding sugar to make it more sweet, salt to make it saltier, and once I pick it up, citric acid to make it more acidic.

The four white powders will be my path to delicious freedom!
