Oven Beef Stew Recipe

This is the best beef stew recipe I have ever tasted. It's easy, uses ingredients I already have, and the family loves it!

You could use a crock pot, but, if at all possible, invest in a cast iron enamel dutch oven (Le Creuset is best). I regret that I had been married for 18 years before I finally bought one and it makes all the difference.

Response to Mrshall07: Until a few months ago, I didn't know what a dutch oven was either. I love to make soups, stews, chili, etc and kept finding recipes that used a dutch oven. Finally, I bought one (Lodge brand) at a Kitchen Collection store and have made many awesome recipes with it. I would recommend getting one with a porcelain glaze like mine. The alternative is the plain cast iron type. While these are also very good, the cast iron reacts with tomatoes and is therefore not a good choice for me. Whatever the brand, a dutch oven is a great thing to have. You should be able to find one in most stores that sell decent pots and pans. Also, I would recommend getting a large one like my 6 quart. Good luck and congratulations on your recent marriage.

I'm a fairly new newly wed...I don't have a dutch oven, can I use a crock pot? Or where can I find a dutch oven?

This is the best stew recipe I've ever made. It was very easy to make, and everybody raved about it! I doubled it and put it into a large oven roasting pan that I usually cook my turkey in. It was perfect!
