This rustic stew is bursting with flavor! If you love trying different stew recipes or looking for a reliable go-to stew recipe this one won’t disappoint! After cooking for 2-3 hours in the oven the stew meat is tender and flavorful and the veggies are cooked perfectly. In my opinion stews like this are best when cooked in the oven.
You just have a little prep work ahead of time on the stove then you pop it in the oven for the rest of the cooking time.
