Got No Beef Stew
Got No Beef Stew captures the hearty comfort of a traditional beef stew without the meat, leaning on browned mushrooms, miso, and a touch of beef-style base for deep, savory richness. Tender carrots, celery, and russet potatoes simmer until velvety, with herbs and Worcestershire rounding out the broth. Serve on a chilly evening when you want something robust and satisfying.

Combine the butter and vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high heat and let the butter melt. Add the mushrooms and the season salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the onions and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the onions have softened and turned translucent and the bottom of the pot has browned, about 5 minutes. The browned bits on the bottom will add flavor and color. Add the tomato paste and flour to thicken the stew. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour in the water, increase the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. While the stew comes to a simmer, mix in the miso paste, beef paste, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and cayenne; stir to combine.

Once the stew is bubbling, add the carrots and celery, then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a steady simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt if needed. Add the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are very tender and creamy inside and the stew has reduced and thickened, about 30 more minutes. You can stir and break up the potatoes a bit to make the stew thicker.

Turn off the heat and stir in freshly chopped Italian parsley, if desired.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
