Like I mentioned in my recipe for beef stew seasoning, I realize I’m pushing the boundaries of winter a little with these recipes. However, I live in Michigan, and here, winter knows no boundaries. We got two days of warm sunshine and I rushed outside with both kids to take walks. This was an urgent matter! Two short days. Now it is cold and rainy again. A little sleet. Thanks, Michigan. Don’t mind me while I curl up with a big bowl of this hot and cozy beef stew. If it happens to be warm where you are, tuck this recipe away for next winter or crank up the AC (AC? What’s that?) and make this beef stew anyways. It’s that good and definitely worth making any time of year – spring, summer, fall and definitely winter. Or check out my recipe for Instant Pot beef stew or slow cooker Marsala beef stew!

About this beef stew:

This beef stew is heavy on the beef–just the way my husband likes it. Okay, me too. Rich and flavorful thanks to the homemade seasoning mix, beer, and tomato paste. Sprinkle some fresh herbs on top, serve with buttermilk biscuits, and comfort is on its way — served up in a bowl.
