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.
