Ever come home from work and want the comforting taste of a good old-fashioned stew? You don't have to wait for the weekend. A good quality meat is important so the stew cooks quickly. Of course, it's better when simmered for three hours but even one hour's cooking will produce a satisfying stew when prepared this way.

This turned out very well. I chopped the veggies by hand and accidentally browned the beef with them. I used halved and quartered russet potatoes (skins on), round steak, dried thyme, and all the rest of the ingredients as written. I did need to thicken it at the end, but the cornstarch did the trick. Thanks for a quick and easy way to make stew!1Reply
