This is the third beef stew recipe I’ve posted and it’s equally delicious. It’s a staple in our house cause it is just so easy. Dump ingredients in crockpot, check. Turn crockpot on, check. Enjoy a bowl of hearty stew when I come home from work, check and check! And, I turn the leftovers into Shepherd’s Pie. Glory!
The only problem with stew in fact is that it is just not that pretty. No matter how I style or snap, it just doesn’t look that great. Tastes amazing, looks eh. It’s like those guys with great personality… sorta. Except, this is a recipe. Way less commitment.
This stew has big chunks of lean beef, baby carrots, and bright sweet potatoes. The broth is sweetened with apple juice, but I also added Worcestershire and Soy Sauce to enhance the savory side. Jason and I paired it with crackers and bam! Delicious!
