Mahogany Beef Stew image

You will not believe the deeply satisfying flavour of this stew. This is our favourite wintry stew dish - comfort food to the max. The cooking time is more or less accurate, but it really depends on the cut of meat used - not everyone used chuck, and then, not all chuck is the same! You really have to poke and prod and taste to get it to where you want it...but that's what cooking is all about, isn't it? ;-)

I'm a vegan and I love this recipe. I just omit the beef and the chicken broth and add some vegetable broth. The stew is still delicious and it's a great way to get my protein.

This stew is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week. It's also great for freezing. I just thaw it out in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat it on the stovetop.
