Easy Beef Stew Recipe

There’s something about a hearty beef stew that’s just so comforting and perfect for the cold months of winter. This French-inspired easy beef stew recipe has lots of herbs and a dash or lemon juice to brighten the rich flavors up.

SOME TIPS AND POINTERS

If you have the time, this stew is great to make a day ahead. Not only do the flavors intensify, but it also allows you to skim some fat off the top, if you’re into that. But it’s totally not necessary. Be sure to serve with lots of crusty bread to sop up all the juices.

Adding beans, rice or pasta will make this soup even more filling and stretch the portions out.

I suggest serving with some nice crusty French bread to sop all that broth up.
If you don’t have a Dutch oven just use an oven-safe pot.

Today I learned the difference between "easy" and simple.

When you were chopping the onion, and the sensitive music started playing, I was kinda' expecting to see you cry. Doesn't make me a bad person.

I know you explained it, but when you said half a cup of brandy, and the video said 2tbsp, all I could think about was Sandra Lee with "2 shots of vodka" LOL :D

[SugarRose]

I made this with the half a cup of bourbon. The chuck roast turned out incredibly soft. I used center cut chuck roast. One of my favorite recipes. Easy and delicious. I walk away and do other things while the meat is browning. So healthy with the carrots, potatoes, tomato, onion, garlic, beef, and broth. What a flavor

I loved the music used when cutting the onions...lol Some fresh mushrooms would top that delicious beef stew right up! Thanks for sharing your recipe it looks so good.

I live in Ireland, I thought I knew everything there is to know about potatoes but those potatoes I have never seen before 😂🤣🤩

Tip: When you chop the onion, leave the root part on until the last, it won't be "stinky" and you won't cry!

[fandhtwoohs]

I could literally feel your ninja prowess when you smashed that evil garlic. Just majestic!

[briannajohnson]

That bacon wouldn't make it to the crumble for garnish stage 😂

[yvonnekaton]

Looks so good I can't wait to try this and your so great at making it look easy to cook thank you.

We are hispanich so i add beans of any kind and serve it with white rice. I also love the purple potatoes and mushroom

[HamCubes]

I think adding the lemon zest and juice right before serving is an inspired choice.
If I were out of lemons, I would replace with a good quality sherry vinegar and chopped flat-leaf parsley, but what you presented was a perfect beef stew imo.

[chamilaperera]

Looks super yum! I have watched quite a few recipes of Beef stew but you make it look so simple to make. Will definitely give it a try.

[Seamus]

Looks great! I always add celery when I make beef stew. I also use lemon pepper to season the beef.

[MimiandtheSnow]
