It's always the perfect time to enjoy this Beef Stew for dinner and we think it's an especially good way to warm up at the end of a cold, winter's day.
As it's packed full of delicious veg, it's a really easy way to help you get your 5 a day and is not only super filling, but really hearty too.
We'd recommend serving with a chunk of crusty bread so that you can soak up every last drop of the tasty sauce!
If you are feeling a little indulgent, why not pour a small glass of red wine into the stew or add a red wine stock pot? It really enhances the flavour and makes it super special!
If you'd prefer, then you can also cook this Beef Stew in the slow cooker or in an instant pot too!
