Best Ever One Pot Beef Stew

This Best Ever One Pot Beef Stew recipe is a deliciously easy classic beef stew recipe that slow cooks to perfection on the stove top and in the oven. It’s comfort food at its finest and it’s incredibly flavourful – perfect for a cold day!

I don’t know about you, but for me there’s almost no meal more warm and comforting than a heaping bowl of this Best Ever One Pot Beef Stew and a slice of crust bread on a cold, wintery day.

It’s truly comfort food at its finest – simple, basic ingredients coming together with lots of love to create a super flavourful dish. Is there anything better?

And no, I’m not talking about an actual slow cooker (Crock Pot-style) – I’m talking that style of cooking where you take the time to execute those extra steps like browning the beef until it caramelizes and deglazing the pan with the best red wine you can get your hands on, just so you can experience the flavour payoff. And I’m here to tell you, it’s SO worth it.

Now because this recipe takes just a bit more effort than your typical “slow cooker” recipe, it’s turned into a weekend meal for our family, or one that I make when I know I have the afternoon at home and can babysit this stew just a little bit. Don’t get me wrong – this is absolutely NOT a complicated dish at all, it’s just that given the tiniest bit of attention, it can go from just your typical old beef stew to one that will knock your socks off. I promise.
