Hi cooks, it was a day of cool weather, and I wanted to make something while I was raking leaves. I wanted to fix a one meal deal. I had about 2 pounds of beef stew meat in the refrigerator, so---yes, you are right, BEEF STEW, I had everything I needed in my pantry to make a AUTUMN SUPERB BEEF STEW. This stew will make about 6 to 8 serves, so, what you don't eat (like me, only one), you can freeze the rest. So, lets get ready to make this AUTUMN SUPERB BEEF STEW!!! You will love the taste and the thickest of the stew. ENJOY!!!
