Publisher's Synopsis
Beef stew is a classic comfort food that warms the soul with its hearty flavors and tender chunks of meat. In this recipe, succulent beef stew meat is seared to perfection, then simmered low and slow in a rich broth with aromatic vegetables like onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. The addition of beef broth and red wine (if using) infuses the stew with depth of flavor, while bay leaves impart a subtle herbal note. As the stew cooks, the beef becomes incredibly tender, soaking up all the delicious flavors of the broth. Garnished with fresh parsley, this beef stew is a wholesome and satisfying meal that's perfect for chilly nights or lazy weekends.
