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.

I made this for my parents for dinner 40 plus years ago. They both wanted to know what I used for thickening. It turns out it was the way I cut the potatoes and floured the beef before I browned it. My Dad loved my stew! Needless to say, I've been making stew the same way ever since and never without thinking about my Dad. . . "Good times around the family table".

This stew was far beyond what i originally thought it would taste like. I highly recommend it to any stew lover!

My wife has a recipe for beef burgundy which is excellent but I wanted to try making a more traditional beef stew. The weather here in Pennsylvania is starting to get cold so it is a great time for a hardy soup.

Asked the hubs what kind of chicken he wanted for dinner last night, and he said, "Something Mediterranean-ish." ;)

Very cold day in Colorado so I thought I would make my version of beef stew. It never fails to hit the spot.

I love beef stew but never made it. Got some tips from my mum and just went for it. It turned out really good even though I got to talking and cooked the beef a little too long. Was done and eating it within an hour of starting to cook it. Looking forward to trying it again with addition vegetables.

Lemon! Lemon! Lemon! Has always been a perfect hack in my kitchen for delicious and tasty meals... It never disappoints 👌

Another recipe I create on my own. I love to try varieties and somehow it turn out well. Hubby said his tummy is happy and that why he reluctantly have meal outside. He is a family man and he prefer to have food at home. And I am more than happy to cook all the meal because it is my hobby too 😃 no artificial flavor only salt and brown sugar.

NIKUJAGA is one of the most popular comfort food in Japan. Once you know what NIKUJAGA taste like, You don't need to see the recipe next time. That is how Japanese people do. I never learn this recipe from mom, but taste mom's home made one.

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!!

I took two stew recipes and mashed them together to come up with this!! This time I was smart and wrote down what I did!! As always, a huge thank you to the talents of my hubby Mike for his photography talents!!
