I’m vegan, but my husband and last kid at home are carnivores, so I cook meat dishes for them several times a week, usually chicken or fish. I haven’t made a beef stew in years, though. Yesterday was cold and blustery, and I couldn’t think of any better smell to greet them than this when the walked in at the end of the day, so I threw it all together in the morning and left it to stew all day. I have to say, when I walked in first and smelled it, OMG!!!!! It was the closest I’ve ever come to being tempted by meat! The guys were thrilled with it, and they both had seconds, with some crusty French bread to soak up the liquid. They asked if I would make it once a month for the rest of the winter, and I will. Thanks for a great recipe!
The is the best compliment EVER Dianne! Thank you so much for sharing. I think I might add a tagline to the recipe…. “smells so good, it temps vegans to eat meat!” hahaha!! Love it 🙂
Made this Today, no peas or corn.. But I did add a can of sliced mushrooms, and 1 can of Hunts diced tomatoes w/garlic, onion, and basil DRAINED… This was the best tasting Stew I ever Had.. There was a small tastey tang to it.. I couldn’t believe it also, as I didn’t add anything Spicey.. 5 stars in this Household!!
Awesome! Thank you 🙂
Just made this beef stew in the crockpot, and put it on the porch to cool off before going in the fridge. I’m sitting hear studying, and then hear scratching on the porch. I push aside the blinds and there’s a raccoon, trying to get at my stew! If that raccoon climbed all the way up three stories to get at this stew, it must be good. (And I tried it, it’s delicious!)
Hahaha. OMG. That is TOO FUNNY Amanda!
Made this stew awhile back and I am about to make it again. AWESOME! And yes, adding barley was a great idea (add during the last hour of cooking). The only other thing I did was I left out the carrots because we don’t care for them in things. Add a side of garlic bread and you have a great meal!
Made this a few nights ago as I was having a craving for something warm and hearty. It smelled lovely while cooking but upon tasting, it was very underseasoned. We added some Tony C.’s Creole Seasoning to taste and it was excellent. I’m not sure if I did something wrong to make it taste so underseasoned. If I did, I can’t figure out where I went wrong. Either way, this recipe is still highly recommended.
