MOM'S BASIC VEGETABLE BEEF STEW
This basic recipe uses simple and often used ingredients. It can be spiced up any way, but our spices we have found bring out the best flavor and they are the key to this recipe. Ground pork or ground lamb can be substituted for ground beef. It can also be cooked on the stovetop, which we do, or slow cooker. Eat as a stew or serve over rice, crushed chips or crackers, or cornbread.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, short ribs, and brisket are all good options for a stew. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in tender, flavorful meat.
- Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop a rich, brown gravy. Be sure to brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of browning.
- Use a variety of vegetables: A good beef stew should have a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Use a beef stock or broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the meat and vegetables will become. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
- Season the stew to taste: Once the stew is finished cooking, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Beef vegetable stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef vegetable stew that your family and friends will love.
