Serving suggestions:
The beauty of stews are their filling nature, the nutrition they bring, and the size of the meal! Whether hosting a party or a large, home meal for family, this succulent stew recipe will make life easy.
Serve with either rustic bread, Yorkshire puddings or dumplings to increase the carbohydrate content and fill you up for even longer. Allowing the beef to simmer in its own juice will allow the flavour and tenderness of the beef to thoroughly permeate the vegetables or dumplings. Traditional steak stew is precisely succulent due to the spices and time left for the ingredients to harmoniously cozy up with one another.
