Hkw Tk Make Dog Beef Stew

Beef stew is a cold weather essential. Read on to get all the hot deets on this ultra-comforting stew.

Why Beef Chuck?

Two reasons: 1) It's cheap! 2) It gets more tender the longer it cooks. Some quick-cooking cuts of meat (like sirloin) would get tough after simmering for 30 to 45 minutes. The opposite is true with beef chuck. If you find your beef isn't tender after 45 minutes, continue simmering, adding more broth or water as needed.

A Note About Flour

Some people have told us that this recipe is missing flour. We respectfully disagree. There's no rule that beef stew needs a thickening agent. In fact, many recipes skip it, not just ours. 😉As the soup simmers, the potatoes give off plenty of starch, creating some of the most velvety broth we've ever had.

Wine Isn'tCompletelyNecessary

Wine adds a layer of rich complex flavor to your stew. If you don't have any leftover cooking wine on hand, your stew will be delicious without it—just sub in more beef stock! Word to the wise, though: open wine keeps for MONTHS in the fridge. (For cooking. For drinking... eh, not so much.) So yes, that half glass of Pinot from September will work just fine.

Make-Ahead Potential

This recipe makes amazing leftovers. And yes, you can make it ahead! Cook all the way through step 6, then cool the stew to room temperature before refrigerating in a resealable container. Before serving, reheat in a large pot over medium-low heat. If it's particularly thick, loosen it up with some broth or water.

Perfect Serving Suggestions

While beef stew is a perfect meal all on its own, we also love beef stew served over some al dente egg noodles. Want something a little heartier? Try ladling a bit of stew over some garlic mash.

Freezer Friendly

This stew also freezes well! When transferring to airtight containers, be sure to leave about 1/2" to 1" air above the stew to allow it to expand while freezing. This beef stew can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Make sure it's completely cooled before sealing and freezing.
