See RecipeMy go-to is always chuck roast. It's like the Cinderella of the beef world – unassuming at first, but give it time to simmer and it transforms into something truly magical. Round and brisket are also solid choices for a fairytale ending.
Patience is the secret ingredient here. You'll want to let your beef stew simmer gently until the beef is so tender it practically melts in your mouth – typically somewhere between 1 to 2 hours on the stove. Or let your slow cooker do the work for 4 to 8 hours on low, and come home to a feast.
Absolutely! I'm a big fan of letting flavors get to know each other overnight. Store your stew in the fridge, and when you reheat it the next day, it's like serving a dish that's been fine-tuning its deliciousness while you sleep.
I like to whisk together a little flour or cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into your stew and watch as it goes from soupy to superbly thick and velvety.
You betcha! Cool it down, pop it into freezer-safe containers, and you've got yourself a homemade meal ready to warm you up on any given chilly evening. It'll keep for about 3 months – but I'll bet it won't last that long once you taste how good it is.
