The Beef Stew is a dish made by Sōma Yukihira when he was preparing for his during the 43rd Annual Tōtsuki Autumn Election's Main Tournament against Subaru Mimasaka but was later dropped as the dish did not impress Erina Nakiri. It is Restaurant Yukihira's 5th dish in the secret menu and the first dish Soma's father had given a stamp of approval.

Notes:
.cc stands for cubic centimetres, and 1 cc = 1 millilitre
. If beef ribs is not for you, that's fine you can use other types of beefs that are thickly cut. (Try to avoid using beef mince and thinly sliced beef)
. If you are worried around the alcohol in the red wine, I can assure you the alcohol is evaporates when you cook it so if would be fine but if you are still uneasy than you can substitute it with Grape, pomegranate, or cranberry juice, Chicken, beef, or vegetable stock or red wine vinegar.
. If you cannot fin Demi glacé sauce for some reason then: To create the equivalent of 1 cup demi-glace simmer 2 cups beef broth and 1 tpsp. of butter in a pan until the broth is reduced by half. Dissolve 1 tsp. of arrowroot or cornstarch in cold water and add to the beef broth, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer until the mixture is thickened. If the mixture is too thick, add sherry or balsamic vinegar 1/8 tsp. at a time, stirring after each addition until the sauce is the desired consistency.

. One fresh bay leaf = two dried leaves
One dried bay leaf = 1/4 tsp. crushed bay leaf
One fresh bay leaf = 1/2 tsp. crushed bay leaf
. In step one if you have your own seasoning that you think will work with the beef, don't be afraid to try it out.

Important note:
. You can garnish with bacon, button mushrooms and onions instead of broccoli, carrots and beans to make the Beef Stew with Bacon Garnish

.Vegetarians
. To replace the beef ribs you may use Tempeh, Seitan and there is a vegan recipe for baked ribs: http://www.baked-in.com/2014/06/30/vegan-barbecue-ribs/
Please be mindful that if you are going to use any of these replacements that the recipe many vary slightly. So here are a few points you may wish to try:
1. Take out the beef parts in the recipe and Add the vegan or vegetarian "beef" on top after you have prepared everything as normal.
2. Add maybe a cube or half a cube of vegetable stock cubes (or any suitable seasoning) to the pot to add more flavour if you wish to.
This many alter the recipe a little but it's pretty hard to find vegetarian and vegan substitutes but if anyone has any ideas I'm happy to include them, that would help me a lot because I'm not vegetarian or vegan so this is quite hard for me x.x sorry, I am trying my hardest to find substitutes though.

Enjoy!!
