How To Make beef stew

• 
  Step 1
  Cut your roast into large bite sized pieces and brown in a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil. Add your chopped onion to saute with the meat.
• 
  Step 2
  Once your meat is browned add your beef broth. Once it comes to a rolling boil start adding your roux 2-3 tablespoons at a time. You will see your mixture begin to thicken as the roux cooks into the broth. Use enough roux to bring stew to desired thickness.
• 
  Step 3
  Season to taste as your stew simmers. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper.
• 
  Step 4
  Once your stew is the thickness you like add your frozen peas and carrots. I add these toward the end so that they do not become too soft or just cook away.
• 
  Step 5
  Note: My family likes this stew with chicken as well and served over mashed potatoes. You could also add larger chunks of veggies such as potatoes, carrots, etc.
