What kind of beef and other goodies do you use????
My wife and i use Filet, carrots,garlic,onion and potatoes added with beef broth...i like your idea of a sweet pototoI use chuck roast for stew meat....Lots of onions and potatoes...Not many carrots unless they are cooked seperately and drained. Sometimes a sweet potato can be good. What about you grandpa?
Filet? I just "knock the moo off" and eat that as is! I save the chuck for stew beef.
it just seems everytime my wife and i used any other kind of meat for the stew the meat was tough
thanks uncle bob...i will give that a tryTry cutting up some chuck roast into nice bite size pieces...browning them for flavor...and simmering (not boiling) Given time it will melt in your mouth. Get the meat tender before adding your veggies so ya want over cook them into mush!

well before we retired we just used the old crock pot and still do but no matter what kind of meat we used it was tough but now i will talk to the wife and try these metods outAnd you've used chuck roast meat? Can you cook a chuck roast and have the meat fork tender?
What's your cooking method for making stew?
BTW, I do the same as UB except lighter on the onions and heavier on the carrots
thank you barb..my wife and i will give this a try on mondayGrampa, ya just have to simmer chuck long enough to be tender- goof flavor beef. I always simmer my chuck roast or cut into stew meat until fork tender - be patient. Roast 2 1/2 hrs. or till fork tender. Yum
you folks are great...i can see am going to have alot of beef stew dinners to look forward to
