Notes
  • Trademarks referred to herein are the properties of their respective owners.
  • (No Title): Instead of 2 lb of stew meat, you can purchase a 2 1/2- to 3-lb beef chuck roast, and cut it yourself. Trim off the fat, and cut into 2-inch pieces. You should end up with about 2 lb meat.
    (No Title): Top with chopped fresh parsley for a pretty, fresh garnish.
    (No Title): Kitchen Tested - 11/2017.
