I have probably about 10 recipes for beef stew, but this is one of my favorites for when you have the time to put it together and to let it simmer. The house will fill with the wonderful aroma of root veggies, herbs and beef....yum!! I usually make some basic doughy biscuits and add rosemary to the dough, to serve along the stew.
