Chunky Beef Stew | Classic American Comfort

Chunky Beef Stew

The classic American Chunky Beef Stew is a meal in itself. Tremendously comforting with some homemade bread, buttermilk biscuits, or dumplings. I remember having beef stew in the winter months while growing up in Dhahran, where winters were very cold.

Singapore is usually always hot or rainy.. but I do sometimes get a  craving for this stew. The kids will eat it up faster than most meals and the hubby loves it too.

Whenever I get really good stewing beef, I always have this recipe in mind. Nope, it’s not a soup, it’s not smooth or watery…oh and no it’s not a curry either!!!  It’s chunky and you have to rummage through the contents to make sure each spoonful has all the elements. The ‘browned’ beef promises a wonderful pearlescent gloss to the gravy. The gravy is simply heartwarming and delicious. So good for something so simple!

A Dutch oven or cast iron pot is traditionally used.. but I have made it in my trusted pressure cooker without any trouble too.
