Easy and Warming Pork and Beef Stew with Kimchi and Ginger

Pork and Beef Stew with Ginger, Tomato, and Kimchi

If I’m going to eat a rich, meaty stew, I’m always going to go for something with spice and tang over a sticky red wine braise. I definitely had the classic Korean dish kimchi jjigae, a pork and tofu kimchi stew, on my brain when working on this. In all its funky, spicy, rich glory, kimchi jjigae was the only dish that cured my morning sickness when I was pregnant with my second child. For that alone, I’ll love it forever. This stew isn’t traditional in any sense, but it leans heavily on the spice and fermented flavors of kimchi and amps that up with anchovy, sour-sweet tomatoes, and the brightness of ginger to make a very belly-warming meal.

1 pound pork stew meat (preferably shoulder)
1 pound beef stew meat (preferably chuck)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bunches scallions
2-inch piece ginger (about 2 ounces)
1 (14-ounce) jar cabbage kimchi
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon gochugaru
3 anchovy fillets packed in oil, drained
Cooked rice, for serving

One little adjustment I'd recommend: fry the drained kimchi before you add in the liquid/wet ingredients. Fried kimchi is delicious and adds so much extra complexity and nuttiness and sweetness.

I can’t help be laugh so loudly every time you say scissoring 🤣🤣🤣 MOTHER CARLA, WHAT ARE YOU

[emilybmn]

I cannot WAIT for Carla’s response to her scissoring video 🤣🤣🤣

[darby]

Carla THRIVES in the fall time. My fave.

[ashen_fields]

[dustincecil]

I'm not Korean but kimchi stew is somehow my comfort food too. It's so warm and flavorful with a nice bowl of rice. It's everything.

🦵✂. Scissoring mom made me snort. But for that past 2 years have been 100% a convert to using the kitchen shears as part of my cooking repertoire- cutting up dried chiles, snipping scallion greens or chives on top of dishes. It's not as perfect as controlled slicing, but it's way less work and clean up.

Another Skims collab! Good for you👏👏👏👏👏

[necroJah]

Never change, Carla! Your recipes and videos are great!

[daphnel.kinzig]

Ok Carla, talked me into it! Btw, I’m scissoring because of you! Cannot wait to try this funky deliciousness! Love Koreanish food!

[gabbyraglione]

The marge chomping mid skims ad is a real highlight for me. She can't help but shine.

[lesliecoyle]

Made this for dinner tonight with my homemade kimchi. I am not Korean but I am obsessed with anything with Korean flavors

loving Carla's use of the royal "we"

[sleepyshibe]

One of my favorites from your book!! We've made it many times, especially in the winter months. It's so good the second day and served over rice.

[blondwigs]

Carla you're the BEST! Never change ❤

[adams]

Carla, this looks fantastic. Thank you!

I like to put the rice or potatoes on one side of the bowl and then put my stew on the other side. That was you can eat them separate or together, however you choose on each bite.

I was just traveling abroad last week and got a terrible stomach bug, barely ate anything for 3 days. My stomach was so queasy and I wanted something that felt familiar to help calm it down. You know how when you're in a different country, even the foods you are familiar with taste a bit different? I found the Koreatown and got kimchijjigae because I knew it would taste familiar and would soothe my stomach and it totally did. <3

😂😂😂😂😂this video is hilarious! You always give us a giggle... I love your "don't take things so seriously attitude". Life is life. Important thing for me is I am definitely making this recipe this weekend and talking as much crap as I want to while making it😂. 🤗 From Texas ❤.
