Vegetable Beef Stew
Vegetable Beef Stew is a hearty combination of tender chuck roast chunks browned and slow-cooked with carrots, potatoes, corn, green beans, and peas in a seasoned beef broth infused with tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. The stew develops rich, deep flavors and a comforting texture suitable for warming meals. Cooking in the oven allows the meat and vegetables to meld into a classic stew with balanced savory notes.
