Perfect Beef Stew Recipe

Red wine: A whole bottle of dry red wine adds richness and flavor — look for dry French wine like Bordeaux, Côtes du Rhône, or use Pinot Noir, Merlot, or Cabernet Sauvignon. We recommend using the wine in this traditional French beef stew, but if you’d prefer to leave it out, you can substitute it with more beef stock for a slightly less rich but still delicious option.

I am literally making this right now! The only addition I made was to add celery - because I absolutely love it! I'm going to take a quick nap while this is in the oven & then serve it up with some homemade biscuits! Oh my goodness, I cannot wait! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 💜🍲

I frequently make a beef stew in my crock pot, let it simmer all day. I find it difficult to locate short ribs in my area but when I did find some several years ago, (yes years) they were quite flavorful. Chuck is always flavorful and fatty which renders down. But it adds so much to the flavor. Thanks for sharing!

Looking forward to making this stew! I have another stew that I make a day ahead and can easily spoon off the congealed fat that rises to the top after it's been in the frig overnight. It works really well to rid the stew of the undesired excess fat.

The look on your face at tasting time told me everything I needed to know...🤤.

Very nice! I like to add celery on mine alongside green plantain balls or make a paste out them for a rich & flavorful broth a La Rican style. Food is all about trying experimenting so I rather enjoy watching others cook. Being doing it myself since I was 6 so I find cooking to be fun by trying new ways and mixing different experiments around. You'd be surprised at the dishes that I have come up with that are finger licking good. Happy cooking y'all! This looks amazing by the way. Definitely subscribing!

Can you use home canned tomatoes in place of some of the red wine? The stew looks delicious.

Hi I am thinking that water would be fine instead o
f beef broth. Your opinion?

Looks good, but I would cook the veggies for an hour tho, to get more flavour into them.
