Recipes Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes Stews Beef Homemade Beef Stew 4.6 (3,802) 2,656 Reviews 562 Photos A homemade beef stew recipe for the stovetop. This traditional stew is good eaten from a bowl or poured over biscuits. Substitute lamb and voila!... Irish stew! If thicker stew is desired, add more cornstarch and/or take the cover off for the last 15 to 20 minutes. The longer this simmers, the better! Vary the herbs to your taste.
