This is such an easy way to make a wonderful beef stew. You don't need to brown the meat first—just combine it with hearty chunks of carrots, potatoes and celery, and let it all cook together in a flavorful gravy. My daughter Karen came up with the recipe for her busy family. —Doris Sleeth, Naples, Florida

Health tip
  • Beef that’s sold for stew is typically from lean, tougher cuts, like round or chuck, that become tender and flavorful when braised.
