Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat ¼ cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. When the butter is melted and the oil shimmers, sear the beef marrowbone on both sides, then push it to the side of the pot.
-
Step 2.
Add 1 pound diced Yukon Gold potatoes, 1 large diced sweet onion, and 1 cup chopped celery to the pot. Sauté until the onions are translucent, 6 to 7 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Add 4 cups beef stock, one 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes with juice, one 20-ounce package frozen baby lima beans, one 16-ounce package frozen sweet corn, a bundle of 12 to 15 sprigs fresh thyme tied with butcher's twine, and 1 bay leaf. Bring the stew to a boil.
-
Step 5.
Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer. Add the shredded meat from 1 Simple Roast Chicken, 2 cups barbecue pulled pork (if using), 1 cup Central Carolina Vinegar Sauce, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne. Stir to combine.
-
Step 6.
Cover the pot and simmer the stew, stirring every 15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and the flavors have melded, 65 to 75 minutes.
-
Step 7.
Before serving, remove the thyme bundle. Stir in 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste. Serve warm with crusty French bread.
