Instructions
Measure out your herbs and spices into a small bowl (salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, paprika, basil, celery salt, oregano, rosemary, cayenne pepper plus either of the optional herbs, ground sage or marjoram).
Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs and spices throughout the blend. You can use a spice or coffee grinder to break down the herbs into a super-fine consistency if desired.
Use half of the mixed beef stew seasoning to season a beef stew recipe with approximately 4 cups of broth (and 1-2 pounds beef).
Notes
Yields 5.25 tablespoons of seasoning (with one of the optional ingredients, otherwise the yield is 5 tablespoons).
Enough to season two beef stew recipes.
Store any unused seasoning in an airtight container, preferably in a cool, dark storage area.
Shake to evenly distribute the seasoning blend after storing (before using any remaining portion).
I suggest adding 2 bay leaves to your beef stew seasoning blend when making a stew.
There is no thickening agent in this spice blend. If your recipe does not have any flour mentioned, start with a slurry of 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons cold water. Whisk until smooth then whisk into your stew. Bring the stew to a simmer to thicken. Adjust as needed, adding small amounts after that as your stew will thicken quickly.
