- 2 chopped carrots chopped
- one large onion chopped
- 4 carrots chopped
- one large pack of stewing beef
- 2 tablespoons of Herbs de Provence (my touch :-))
- 4 cloves of chopped garlic
- one liter of beef stock
- flour to thicken
- 1/2 a cup of fresh chopped parsley
Method:
- saute the meat, garlic and onions in olive oil for 5 minutes to brown, coated with a little flour
- add vegetables with herbs de Provence and a beef stock
- turn down to a simmer for about 2 hours
- just before serving thicken with corn starch
- serve with mashed potatoes

There is nothing better than slow roasted beef and vegetables for a comforting meal during the fall and winter. My mother made hers much the same way ;) I love the addition of Herbes de Provence!

I converted an assisted living kitchen from frozen to fresh back in the late 1990's and one thing I remember...the men could smell me making beef stew, they would all come hang out by the entrance waiting. My mom made the best, so I also picked that one up!
ReplyDeleteI am in the mood for Shepard's Pie now, why is that, lol!
Fall is definitely upon us, and what a perfect time to enjoy a delightful stew! This is truly comfort food at its best!
