Tender and flavourful beef chunks cooked with veggies in a savoury tomato base. This beef stew is what I call comfort food. It is delicious, easy to make, and all done in one pot. The best part is, this beef stew recipe is made over the stove using only one pot; it is the easiest way of making this stew. Or you can go with the classic way and put it in the oven and let the beef and veggies simmer for about two to three hours. This beef stew can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days and froze in a sealed container for 2-3 months.
Tip: if you are going to make this beef stew with veggies ahead then freeze it, I don't recommend adding potatoes.
