How to Make a Delicious Beef Stew

Step One: Prepare roast beef ahead of time.


For the roast beef recipe, I usually make it in the crockpot with some salt, pepper, onion soup mix, sliced onion, carrots, and potatoes. I don’t really follow a recipe (and usually do something different every time) and it comes out tasting pretty good each time.


After this meal, I like to cut the leftover roast beef into bite-size pieces and then put it in the freezer to use for stew at a later time.


Step Two: Prep Your Veggies

I like to prep and cut all of the veggies and potatoes before starting to cook.


Dice the onion and celery. Set aside for sauting.

Cube the potatoes and carrots. Set these aside to be added later.


Make sure the beef is cubed into bite-sized bites. Set aside.


Cut the bacon into small pieces.

Step Three: Preparing the Beef Stew


In a large dutch oven, prepare the bacon until done to the crispiness that you desire. Remove bacon from Dutch oven and place on paper towel to drain.


Saute onion and celery in bacon grease (or 1 Tbsp of olive oil).

To Note – If there is extra grease after sauating, I soak it up with a paper towel so it is not overly greasy.


Add the potatoes, carrots, cubed roast beef, and bacon.


Add beef broth and water to cover everything with a little extra (the extra fluid will be reduced while simmering)

Add all of the seasonings and stir. Place the lid and allow to simmer for 1-2 hours on low. Stir occasionally.

Serve hot and enjoy!
