Notes
- The best and the cheapest cut of beef for a Stew or Thick Soup is known as chuck, which comes comes from the front shoulder, another good choice would be the round cut which comes from the rear muscle. Either of these will work.
- Because they are a cheap cut of meat, means they need a slow cooking in order to make them tender. That is why this stew baked in the oven for two hours is perfect.
- Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it will last up to three to four days. It can also be frozen, be sure to store the completely cooled stew in a freezer safe container. It will keep for up to four to six months.
