This is a recipe which I came upon when I joined my husband's family. It's so popular and I'm on the verge of making little spice packets I can just throw in with the rest of the ingredients. I'm not sure if there's someone out there with the original idea for this dish, but we have modified it quite a bit for personal taste.

HERBED BEEF STEW

This is the best beef stew I have ever tasted and I am a huge fan of stew and have eaten a ton of it over my life. I found this recipe in a Light and Tasty catalog several years ago while at the dentists office. Of course I couldn't steal the recipe out of it but I immediately went on the hunt for it as soon as my root canal had calmed down and it was well worth the hunt. Everyone who tastes this stew begs for the recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

Tips:

To make the stew extra flavorful, brown the beef in batches so that it gets a nice caramelized crust.
Use a variety of vegetables in your stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. This will add flavor and texture.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A good starting point is to use rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the stew. This will help prevent the stew from becoming watery.
If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use a biscuit or pie crust instead.
Serve the stew with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and some crusty bread.
