Q&A: What is a simple beef stew recipe, not using too many ingredients?
I will be using store bought stew meat, white onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes. I have a seasoning packet for stew (I moved ((without moving my stuff)) recently and most of my spices are in another state), plus s&p, garlic powder, cayenne, poultry seasoning, and rosemary. And tabasco. I have flour. And beef broth. I can get red wine and already have beer.

I have a 1.5 quart casserole dish (this does not have to be a huge stew) and a fry pan and medium sized pot.

What would you do with these limited resources? I am craving stew but do not have a dutch oven….I will buy any extra ingredients (esp Leeks, red wine, bay leaves, basil/italian seasoning, guinness) if neccessary and should be getting a better pot for cooking from a friend tommorow.

I have never made stew before.
Whoa…I can’t believe how many people didn’t read my actual post. I specifically listed all the things I HAVE. i DON’t have a dutch oven or crockpot.

The answer in the following: (Hint: For answers, no site audit.)

YOu got stew as is. Stew is just a bunch of stuff you got on stock and shove in a pot. I would add chicken broth, garlic and pepper to the meat, onions, carrot, potato and celery. Beer or red wine can replace or in addition to the chicken broth. My favorite spice is thyme. The stew packet would be fine. I like my stew thick, so I add corn starch at the end.

edit. Boil it for several hours and when you add corn starch mix it with water first and slowly added to the stew so it wont make lumps. Stir it while you add the corn starch.

Sounds like you’ve got the makings for stew to me!

Lightly flour the meat. Put some oil or butter in a Dutch oven. When it’s hot, add the meat. Brown the meat on all sides. Then add chopped onion, carrot and celery. Saute for 5 minutes then add your seasonings. Deglaze the pan with beer or wine and then add a sprig of rosemary and the beef broth. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.

Use the potatoes for something else.
