It is a familiar recipe, but no one ever gets tired of it. Chunks of tender beef and veggies in rich brown gravy will always bring comfort and joy to the dinner table.

As for me? Well, temps went down to 40, so naturally, I put on a sweater, a fancy scarf, tall boots, and I hoppedon the warm and hearty stew recipes in no time.

But. HI-yo, hello! Happy Happy Sunday! I haven’t been with you on a Sunday since forever ago! Darn work’s got me flyin’ from place to place every weekend, and I haven’t had a chance to just stop and write you a sentence or two.

Speaking of visiting different cities. I went to Austin, Texas last week! WHY didn’t you tell me that I would experience Chicago, New York, Milwaukee, Skopje, and Amsterdam, all within 5 blocks of the city??? There was so much life and chaos down there. I LOVED IT! I even thought about just calling up my husband to pack up the kids and move. BUT I’d miss my Mama too much so I changed my mind…

AUSTIN ROCKS!

And now, since I brought up myMama – that’s mah-MAH, not MAW-muh– this Beer Beef Stew Recipe comes straight from her recipe box which is a 10-inch stack of papers with a whole bunch of scribbles that only SHE understands.

BEER BEEF STEW

This is so easy, and if you’ve never made beef stew, you’ll kick yourself for waiting this long. AND. There’s beer in it, so you can just call today a win.✓

But first, listen. I realize we’ve already talked about Beef Stew before, and that one was with Peas and Tomatoes, which is so awesomely good, but this? This is a tad bit better because of therichness and depth of flavorthat the beer adds. All in all, I’ve been hooked on this stew since childhood and will never give up on it.

Now, before SNL starts, let me wrap this up:

HOW TO MAKE BEER BEEF STEW

I will need you to cut up some sirloin into 2-inch cubes, chop up some carrots, slice up the mushrooms, grab two bottles of beer – one for the stew and one for you – and… make extras. Lots.

Add it all to a dutch oven and watch the whole thing play out. Taking time to sear the steak is integral to flavor in both the meat and the gravy, as is letting it simmer until the beef is spoon-tender.

Traditionally, Beef Stew is made with chuck roast, but to cut down cooking time by over 50%, I used sirloin steak.

Serve as is, or over mashed potatoes, noodles and/or rice.
