French Onion Beef Stew with a Savory Twist

ADVERTISEMENT

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread.

Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese and broil briefly for a “French onion soup” finish.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if needed.

Variations:

Use chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.

Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra texture.

Turn it into a slow cooker meal: brown the meat first, then cook on low for 6–7 hours.

Stir in cooked rice or pasta just before serving for a one-pot meal.

FAQ:

Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, chuck roast or shoulder cuts work well. Cut them into bite-sized cubes for faster cooking.

Do I need to brown the meat first?
Browning adds flavor, but if you’re short on time, you can skip it for a simpler version.

Can this be made ahead of time?
Absolutely. The flavor deepens overnight, making it even better the next day.
