A hearty beef stew packed with vegetables and rich flavors, perfect for comforting family dinners and suitable for those craving savory, wholesome meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the chuck roast slowly in a little oil with chopped onion.
- Add beef bouillon cubes, a pinch of parsley flakes, thyme, and oregano.
- Add diced tomato and diced celery.
- Add potatoes, carrots, Veg-All, frozen corn, and frozen peas to a pack of brown gravy.
- Thicken the mixture with flour.
- Bring to a boil and simmer. Add soy sauce and mix together.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chuck roast overnight in a mixture of soy sauce and spices. If you don't have beef bouillon cubes, you can use homemade beef stock instead. For a healthier twist, substitute the frozen peas and corn with fresh vegetables from your garden or local market. This stew can also be made in a slow cooker, similar to a Marinated Crock-Pot Pot Roast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty beef stew with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a filling meal. A side salad or steamed green vegetables would complement the dish nicely. For a comforting dessert, consider pairing it with a slice of Dream Pie (This Makes Two Pies) to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover beef stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, or use a microwave until heated through. If the stew thickens too much during storage, add a splash of broth or water while reheating to restore its consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this stew?
Yes, you can substitute chuck roast with other cuts like brisket or round, but cooking times may vary. Just ensure the beef is well-marbled for tenderness. If you're looking for a leaner option, consider using sirloin, but it may require less cooking time to avoid toughness.
Is there a vegetarian version of this beef stew?
Absolutely! You can create a vegan version by replacing the beef with hearty vegetables like mushrooms or jackfruit and using vegetable bouillon instead of beef. You can still include all the other ingredients like potatoes, carrots, and a variety of beans for protein, making it a satisfying meal for everyone.
How can I make this stew spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes when browning the meat. Alternatively, a dash of hot sauce can be mixed in during the simmering stage. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning gradually to achieve your desired spice level without overwhelming the dish.
