Old-Fashioned Beef Stew

Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Stews

This stew is old-fashioned, nothing fancy with unusual spices and flavors. It is just your typical, hearty beef stew loaded with lots of vegetables and a generous amount of red wine to give a good depth of flavor. This stew has officially become one of our favorite dishes to make on the weekends.
