Old Fashioned Beef Stew Easy Recipe

This is a basic Old Fashioned Beef Stew, hearty and comforting. It shouldn’t hurt your budget but will for sure make you want to make it again. Tender and juicy beef in a creamy thick gravy, what more can one ask for? This stew will taste even better the next day.

Any Beef Cut Can do!

I have used chuck steak but it is not a must, the cooking time is long enough to make any cut fork tender. You can also add more vegetables like mushrooms and potatoes. I have served this stew over mashed potatoes, therefore, I didn’t add any in the stew.

Making Old Fashioned Beef Stew.

The thick yet creamy stew is best served with bread or mashed potatoes. Although the cooking time is long you don’t have to be in the kitchen all that time. What you should do is to check on the stew every few minutes in case more water need to be added.

It is Summer but this stew can be served and enjoyed in any season. If you ever make this recipe, do let me know how you liked it in the comment box below.
