Few dishes evoke the warmth and comfort of a homemade meal like a hearty bowl of beef stew. Beef stew is one of those recipes I love to cook up during the winter months because I feel like it warms me up when it is cold outside. In addition to warming you up, the rich aroma of simmering beef, vegetables, and savory spices fills your home, creating a sense of anticipation and nostalgia.
I don’t know about you, but the smell of stew cooking reminds me of growing up and my dad brewing a stew for dinner.
