Ridiculously Easy Hacks to Get
Pet-Ready for a Trip Sponsored by
Best Western A lot of stew recipes
call for cooking the meat and
vegetables at the same time,
leaving the latter overcooked and
mushy. Here, you first braise the
meat with onions in red wine and
beef broth until a rich sauce
develops. Then, after about an
hour, add carrots, celery, and
potatoes. By the time the
vegetables are cooked, the beef is
perfectly tender-all that's left is
to stir in some frozen peas for a
little freshness and color. Spoon
this rich, dark, comforting stew
over egg noodles, Polenta, or our
Celery Root Puree, or just pass
around plenty of crusty bread to
scoop up all the rich sauce. For a
delicious crock-pot alternative,
check out our Slow Cooker Beef
Stew. Watch Lisa Lavery make this
simple beef stew recipe in an
episode of our Easiest Way video
series.
