What Seasonings Go in Beef Stew?
There’s nothing quite like a slow-simmered, soul-warming beef stew. It’s the kind of dish that wraps you in comfort—and like any great dish, it all comes down to the seasoning. Sure, you could reach for a pre-made packet, but if you want to cook like a legend? Start with Sergio’s Seasoning from the Golden Steer.
This isn’t just another spice blend. It’s the same signature seasoning that’s been served on steaks at Las Vegas' most iconic steakhouse for decades—now crafted to transform every bite of your beef stew into something unforgettable.
What Seasonings Go in Beef Stew?
Sergio’s Seasoning is your ultimate salt and pepper upgrade—designed to be the foundation of every dish. Its proprietary blend layers kosher salt and premium black pepper with a symphony of supporting spices:
What’s Inside:
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper – A bold but balanced base.
- Celery Salt – Adds a touch of savoriness with a slightly vegetal edge.
- Onion & Garlic – For rich umami and aromatic depth.
- Turmeric – Gives a warm, earthy note and beautiful golden hue.
- Paprika – Rounds it out with a gentle smokiness and color.
Together, these ingredients create a savory, slightly peppery, deeply flavorful profile with just a hint of warmth and earthiness. It’s complex enough to stand on its own, but versatile enough to pair with other blends and butters. It’s no wonder it’s served on every single steak at the Golden Steer Steakhouse.
Why Sergio’s Seasoning is Perfect for Beef Stew
Beef stew demands depth. It needs seasoning that can withstand hours of simmering while still standing out in every bite. Sergio’s Seasoning hits that mark. It:
- Enhances the richness of the beef without overpowering it.
- Adds complexity through savory notes and a touch of spice.
- Layers beautifully with fresh herbs or other seasonings.
- Works as a thickener base when paired with flour to coat meat before browning.
How to Use Sergio’s Seasoning in Beef Stew
1. Coat Your Beef First
Toss your stew meat in a generous amount of Sergio’s Seasoning (about 2–3 tablespoons per pound) before browning. It’ll build a crust that locks in flavor.
2. Sprinkle into the Stew
Add another spoonful into the stew as it simmers. It’ll infuse the broth with bold, savory flavor.
3. Taste & Adjust
Because Sergio’s Seasoning has a deep flavor foundation, you may find you don’t need to add much else. But if you like it spicy or sweet, it plays well with cayenne, cinnamon, or even brown sugar.
4. Enjoy!
