Hearty Beef Stew

Redo time! This recipe has already been featured on my blog but the pictures were just so sad and SO three years ago. May I present the new and improved hearty beef stew! 

The last time I shared this recipe, winter was actually turning it flower buds and allergies aka spring time. I feel I maayyyy have gotten the timing better this go round!

Honestly though, I make this hearty beef stew pretty much all year round. I literally crave it and in my humble opinion, is the best beef stew ever. It's SO comforting and ridiculously easy to make. Dice up your veggies and cook everything in one pot, then simmer away!

Since this hearty beef stew is made in just one pot that also means super quick clean up. Rich flavorful broth, tender beef, tons of veggies and no scrubbing away at endless bowls and pans afterwards?

DONE!

Also, it's dairy free and definitely on the healthy side. What?? Hearty beef stew that's delicious and decently good for you? I'm all about it.

PS. The only reason it isn't gluten free is a small addition of flour to coat the beef. It does help thicken the stew up a little bit but if you follow a gluten-free diet, by all means just take out the flour and enjoy!

So grab a bowl and dish up some hearty beef stew to warm up this autumn (and the entire year too because why not? Beef stew all year round!).

Notes

To make this stew gluten free, just remove the flour! It might result in a slightly thinner stew but it will still taste just as delicious.
