It’s funny... I made some chili last week. As I was thinking in my head, “What the hell goes in chili”? I started saying, “Wait, no. This is sounding like a beef stew”. So... I decided to make a beef stew now. It’s cold now and these dishes warm the soul. I never appreciated beef stew when I was younger. But I realize how fine of a dish it is in my older age haha.

As a mother of 3 boys I often need to "throw together whatever we have around!" This is One of the Results! 😋 #dinnerbake #beefstewbake #beefstew

I used leftover potroast to make this, made a great meal! :ohyeaah

I was in the mood for a nice hearty winter meal and this did the trick, it also gave me a reason to break in my little 2 qt crock pot!

I love this beef stew because it’s perfect for chilly days, practically cooks itself, and combines hearty meat, vegetables, and potatoes all in one comforting meal.

It was easy and delicious!! Just throw everything in and let it cook! :)

You can pan sear your meat before you cook it in your broth. However, it's not necessary to building any additional flavor or tenderizing the meat in this dish. She'll simmer far too long to worry about any of that.If you do chose to pan sear, allow your roast to sit out on the counter for 40 + minutes to relax and warm a bit. Then, season with sea salt / pepper and sear on high - on all sides - in oil in a cast iron skillet or comparison.

Or maybe more. This is a great basic preparation that can be played with ingredient-wise but there are some vital ingredients. Potato carrots and celery are traditional. Avoid pre cut "stew meats" as they are usually too lean. Find a chuck shoulder that is nicely marbled with ribbons of fat. Get a nice dark caramelized color on the meat for richer flavor. Take care to use a high quality broth. Many would suggest replacing one cup with red wine.Cutting potatoes in varied sizes with allow the smaller pieces to naturally thicken the broth as well.Served with cornbread or a warm yeast roll and you will be in comfort food heaven

Hearty, delicious, and easy to make, this old fashioned beef stew is a family favorite. Tender pieces of meat, veggies, and spices are cooked in a yummy broth for this classic recipe that everyone loves.

I must admit this recipe is really for a beef pie, but the insides where so good, why not just have the insides!! I think it qualifies for stew!! You can cook the first part in a skillet but you do need a Dutch oven to complete it. It is rather fiddly to make but I guarantee you'll be happy with the results. Props to my hubby as well for the photography as usual!!

A great and simple stew recipe that can be eaten as a stand alone dish or served with white rice or egg noodles.

Easy crockpot meal.
