Those windy, rainy evenings of autumn are upon us, and we have the perfect recipe to cozy up with when the chilly weather drops. This beef stew is the real deal – seared meat, sautéed veggies, and our secret sauce, all roasting in a dutch oven! Hearty vegetables really fill out this dish, but don’t forget to whip up a batch of our famous buttermilk biscuits.
While this might not be as convenient as our fix-it-and-forget-about-it beef stew, it’s well worth the effort! We combined savory beef, tender new potatoes, and a unique blend of flavors, including beer, paprika, sugar, and cinnamon. Trust us, this stew is what cold evenings were made for!
