Best Beef Stew Recipe

By: Want To Know It

Here is my absolute favorite beef stew recipe.

Preparation Time: 15-20 minutes, although it takes considerable time to cook

Difficulty: Easy

Feeds: Variable. I have not put the amounts of beef and vegetables you should use as it changes depending on how many people you are feeding.

Ingredients:

• Beef
• Onions
• Salt
• Pepper
• Herbs (I use basil and oregano, but you can use anything you like)
• Red chili (optional)
• Potatoes (these should be the dominant vegetable)
• Carrots
• Corn
• Peas
• Beans

Method:

1. Cut the beef into nice small pieces
2. Fill a large pot about three thirds full of water
3. When the water begins to boil, add the beef, onion, salt and pepper to the pot
4. Reduce the heat so that the mixture simmers
5. Cover the pot with a lid and leave the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every half hour
6. While you wait, peel the carrots and potatoes and prepare all the other vegetables
7. Add the vegetables to the mixture after the simmering period, bring the mixture back to the boil (put the lid on the pot again), and then reduce it to a simmer again
8. Cook for an hour

Other Tips:

1. Some people enjoy some rice in their beef stew. Add it when you add the potatoes and carrots to the mixture
2. You can thicken the mixture by adding some flour or cornstarch mixed with cold water. Add it right at the end of cooking, stirring it into the mixture for a few minutes
3. Reheating leftover beef stew is easy! Just simmer the mixture in a large pot for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture is heated all the way through
4. You could also add other meat to the mixture, such as bacon, or other vegetables
