When the temperature outside begins to drop, we start reaching for hearty recipes that warm our families from the inside out—and this mulligan stew is our go-to. Mulligan stew is traditionally known as a way to use up leftover meats and vegetables in the fridge, but we like to serve this stew with crunchy peppers and cubed beef brisket. Trust us; it’s a hit every time it hits the dinner table.

You can prepare this in fewer than two hours on the stove top, or you can use a slow cooker on low to let it cook all day. Be sure to make enough of this filling, hearty stew for leftovers the next day!

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound beef brisket, cut into 1-inch cubes with the fat trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

Preparation
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.

  3. Sauté onion and bell peppers in the remaining oil in the pot until the onions are translucent.
  4. Add minced garlic, beef broth, tomato paste, beer, potatoes and carrots to the pot. Mix in browned beef and green beans, and bring the stew to a boil.
