Beef vegetable stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. There are two main ways to make beef vegetable stew: the classic method and the slow cooker method. The classic method involves browning the beef in a pot and then adding the vegetables and broth. The stew is then simmered until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. The slow cooker method is even simpler: simply add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Both methods result in a delicious and satisfying stew that is sure to please everyone at the table.

ROASTED VEGETABLE AND BEEF STEW
This is a very substantial beef stew that is enhanced by roasting to the vegetables prior to adding to the stew. I have perfected it over the years and my family and friends love it. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.

VEGETABLE BEEF STEW FOR TWO
"I love pot roast, but since I live alone, I find it easier to cook stew meat," Roberta Young writes from San Diego, California. "I cook 3 pounds of lean beef stew meat or a roast I cut up myself...whatever's on sale. Then I make my recipe for Beef Stew Mix (recipe also in Recipe Finder), divide it up in three containers and freeze. You can alter the seasonings, if you wish." Roberta uses one portion of the versatile mix to make hearty Vegetable Beef Stew.

MOM'S BASIC VEGETABLE BEEF STEW
This basic recipe uses simple and often used ingredients. It can be spiced up any way, but our spices we have found bring out the best flavor and they are the key to this recipe. Ground pork or ground lamb can be substituted for ground beef. It can also be cooked on the stovetop, which we do, or slow cooker. Eat as a stew or serve over rice, crushed chips or crackers, or cornbread.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, blade roast, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop the stew's rich color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your stew a more complex flavor. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and peas.
- Season the stew well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or beef broth for extra flavor.
- Cook the stew slowly: This allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
Conclusion:
Beef vegetable stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively inexpensive and easy dish to make. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and hearty stew on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying meal, give beef vegetable stew a try.
