Nutrition Facts : Calories 278 Calories

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Choose a chuck roast or another cut of beef that is well-marbled for the best flavor and tenderness. Using a Dutch oven is the best method for making this recipe. Using a Dutch oven (or large pot) allows you to brown the beef in the same pot that you cook the stew, which helps to develop the flavor.
  • Brown the beef in batches: Do not overcrowd the pot when browning the beef. Brown the beef in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and potatoes, but you can also add other vegetables such as onions, parsnips, or turnips. Try to cut vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the stew for extra flavor.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the stew, so it is important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade beef broth or a store-bought broth. You can also use chicken broth, but the flavor of the stew will be milder. You can add red wine or beer to the stew for a richer flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the beef will become. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have time. If the sauce gets to thick during cooking, add more beef broth or water.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles: Beef stew is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or rice, but you can also serve it with noodles or other sides of your choice.

Conclusion:

This quick-fix beef stew recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The stew is made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and comforting beef stew that your family will love.
