A hearty meal have on a cold day. It’s enough to feed a big family with some leftovers.
On a chilly day my dad would make beef stew for me and my three siblings and was it a warming treat! Just taking a bite into it warms your soul and body. It’s a very homey and simple recipe. Because it’s a simple recipe, think of it as your base where you can add in more ingredients to spruce it up and call it your very own.
The great part about this recipe, you can use any cheap cut of beef. By cooking the beef for 2 hours, it tenderizes the meat to the point where the meat is practically falling apart!
