Beef Mushroom Stew
Beef Mushroom Stew is a hearty meal that is flavorful and so satisfying. Made with grilled chunks of beef along with mushrooms, onions, celery and carrots in a hearty broth.
Beef Stew made with smoky meat takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness. We use a chocolate roux to thicken the stew and for added flavor.
Comfort food is always great for a Sunday dinner or get together with family and a hearty slow-cooked stew is a real family pleasing meal.
