This warm and cozy beef stew is the perfect one-pot meal to throw together and cook on the stovetop. The best part is it tastes even better the next day, so it fits as a make-ahead, too!
What You'll Need
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 pounds beef stew meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 (15-ounce) cans mixed vegetables, undrained (see Notes)
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole potatoes, drained and quartered, with liquid reserved
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and quartered, with liquid reserved
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed beef broth
What to Do
-
In a soup pot, heat oil over high heat. Add beef, onion, garlic, and pepper, and cook 10 minutes, or until beef is browned, stirring frequently.
-
Stir in remaining ingredients, including reserved liquids, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook 1 hour, or until beef is tender and a thick gravy has formed, stirring occasionally.
Notes
-
For a chunkier stew, use 1 can cut green beans and 1 can sliced carrots instead of 2 cans mixed vegetables.

This is a simple complete meal. I use the beef cubes in place of canned beef broth but I also add 1/2 cup A1 sauce for a bolder flavor.

This was delicious and perfect with buttered dinner rolls. Will fix it at least twice a month. Thank you.

Some of us like a lot of meat if you don't use less meat and quit bothering us

Is that a misprint? 2-1/2 lbs of beef for 4 people seems like an awful lot, even with trimming and shrinkage.

One of our favorites. Next time we're going to try the frozen stew vegatables.
