This beef stew recipe is a classic dish of fork tender beef stewed with carrots and potatoes, so much like my mother used to make, pure comfort food.
Easy Beef Stew with Potatoes and Carrots
Growing up, my mother made a lot of crockpot beef stew. It was my favorite dish she made, such a simple recipe, with cubed stew beef tossed into a crockpot with potatoes, carrots, some liquid and a pre-made beef stew seasoning packet.
She served with mashed potatoes, and I loved the way the thick stew gravy dripped down and gave everything so much flavor.
I make my own Beef Stew today more the classic way, by coating the beef in flour and seasonings, then searing it before cooking it low and slow in a mix of red wine and beef broth.
It’s perfect every time. You might be wondering – why is Mike from Chili Pepper Madness making old-fashioned beef stew? It isn’t spicy, is it?
The answer is “no”, this isn’t a spicy recipe, but one with huge flavor for sure. Plus, I hope you’ll consider all of my other beef stew recipes from around with world to see which one is your favorite. Those links are listed below.
