Brown beef stew is an old-fashioned recipe usually made in a skillet on top of the stove. This stew is easy and makes a delicious meal anytime. This recipe could be doubled for a gathering and is wonderful served with cornbread or over biscuits. It is very versatile in that you can add your favorite vegetables and even change the spices to suit your taste. This stew should freeze well, too.
Brown Beef Stew Ingredients Needed:
Beef stew meat
All Purpose Flour
Butter
Beef broth
V-8 juice (can use tomato juice)
Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Minced garlic
Black pepper
Bay leaves
Onion
Potatoes
Carrots
This is a super versatile dish and you could easily add green beans to it or cabbage, lots of extra possibilities. This stew really has a wonderful taste and my whole family loved it. I made fried cornbread to go with it and it was a hearty dish on a cold night. This dish reheated just fine which is always nice, you could easily enjoy this one for a few nights.
You can easily use chicken broth or water in place of the beef broth and tomato juice in place of the V-8 juice. I think the V-8 juice gave this dish a great flavor.
This dish can easily be made in the crock pot too, directions in the printable recipe card below.
