Description

I’ve been making stew using this same recipe for 17 years. It’s comfort in a bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Beef Stew Meat
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 clove Garlic, Diced
  • 1 whole Onion, Sliced
  • 2 whole Bay Leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoons Allspice
  • 5 whole Carrots, Peeled And Chopped
  • 5 whole Red Potatoes, Chopped

Preparation

(Amounts of vegetables is an estimate. Please add whatever amount of carrots and potatoes pleases you!)

Brown meat in oil in a heavy pot. Add 2 1/2 cups hot water and the next 9 ingredients (the spices and seasonings). Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add carrots and potatoes; cover and cook for an additional 35 to 45 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Thicken with a flour and water mixture. Serve with warm, crusty bread.

This was absolutely delicious!! I made it just as the recipe instructed but I found that I ran out of water after just an hour of simmering (and I had the flame on very low) so I added more then added more water when I added the veggies. I’d say it was an extra 2 cups of water. I also threw in some celery. It was the nicest stew ever – the meat just fell apart and the potatoes were full of the flavour. Oh mmmm! Thanks for posting! I’ll definitely keep this recipe close to hand!

I’m a real sucker for trying new beef stew recipes (my husband LOVES beef stew). This was fabulous… and the coffee tip made it extra rich… we all loved it!

I found this one a bit salty, but that’s an easy fix for next time. Still very yummy!

Delicious! My husband texted me from work the next day, just to tell me how good the stew was (that he was eating for lunch)!

I made this yesterday and it was delicious. I used russet potatoes since that was what I had on hand and increased the meat & water just a bit. Will definitely put this one in my recipe box!
