This is our house recipe.Saute the onions first, and then saute the flour for 3 minutes. Recipe by Komatsuta

This is a tomato lover's hashed beef stew, that I'm writing down for a tomato-loving friend, from one tomato lover to another.Microwave the onion beforehand to reduce its cooking time.If you let the stew cool down and rest for a while, it will become even more delicious. (Take care not to let it burn.)Add a bay leaf to make it taste really authentic.If you don't like the sourness of the tomatoes, increase the sugar. Recipe by Miashanmama

I wanted to make something for my kids using vegetables rather than a ready-made roux. Apparently, canned tomatoes have 3 times the nutrients of fresh tomatoes. If you have 20 minutes, you can easily make this delicious dish. If you let it sit overnight, it's great for guests, too!Once you sprinkle in the flour, quickly mix and cook! Recipe by Rikutanmammy

I don't like ready-made hashed beef stew roux and consomme, so I made my own with common ingredients.My husband and kids told me it's easy to eat and they love it.Once you are used to this homemade taste, you can't go back to ready-made roux.If you prefer darker colour, stir-fry the flour in the pan until it becomes brown before adding it.

This is a recipe for cold winter days for my married older brother and his wife who are busy with work and child rearing. This warm stew is nutritious, prevents colds, and has plenty of carrots.If you really sear the meat well at first before adding the wine, it ends up delicious. I usually add mushrooms and potatoes when I make it, but when I make it to freeze I leave out the potatoes. When adding potatoes, add them in during Step 5 as you add the can of demi-glace sauce. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mawaru7

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.

A simplified version as this recipe doesn't require you to make the roux.

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.

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

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!!

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!!

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.
