There's nothing more heartwarming than a bowl of hot beef stew on a rainy Sunday afternoon. This was actually requested so as I have never made beef stew so I thought why not. This is a modified recipe of Jamie Oliver's but I did not use the oven or even a Dutch oven. I merely cooked it over the stove but the flavours were still deep and delicious. I used steak for stewing and plenty of vegetables. The recipe calls for artichokes and squash but as they are hard to find here, I skipped them.
This is great served with crusty bread or even rice.
