Dutch Oven Mediterranean Beef Stew
Sep 28, 2024 01:12 AM
My Dutch Oven Mediterranean Beef Stew is the epitome of comfort food. With such delicious flavours, it is a one-pot meal, complete on its own, with cubes of beef, simmered until meltingly tender, in a rich tomato sauce with fresh vegetables and herbs. You will love this Gluten-Free Beef Stew.
You’ll love this Mediterranean Beef Stew because:
Meat and vegetables are cooked together in the Dutch Oven, their flavours combining harmoniously.
When it comes to Beef Stew, you will get the best result by using inexpensive cuts of meat. The long, slow cooking will give you meat that is meltingly tender.
You can make this meal ahead of time. In fact, this is one meal that improves if made a day or two in advance. It gives the flavours time to fully harmonise and develop complexity.
This is a great dish for meal prep. Make a large batch and store containers in the freezer for days when you need an easy meal. It is pure comfort food that will warm and satisfy you.
