I found this in a Country Extra Magazine and is one of the Recipe contest winners by Lynn Franklin of Marietta, GA. There is nothing better than a piping hot bowl of stew for lunch or dinner on a cold and snowy day. Zaar would not recognize beef bouillon granuals, so I am putting it here.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, 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 a rich, dark sauce.
Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic stew vegetables. But feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
Use a flavorful broth: Beef broth or stock is the traditional liquid for beef stew. But you can also use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beer.
Season the stew well: Salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme are all essential seasonings for beef stew. But you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
Simmer the stew until the beef is tender: This will take at least 1 hour, but it may take longer depending on the cut of beef you are using.
Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is a hearty, comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile dish that can be easily customized to your own taste. So experiment with different ingredients and seasonings until you find a combination that you love.
