My grandmother always put oysters in hers, but I don’t like them in my gumbo.

Some of my other family members use them and various other seafood, such as lobster, crayfish, and scallops.

This recipe is for a big pot, but you can adjust as needed.

Let your taste buds lead you! enjoy!

My grandmother found so many ways to provide nutritious foods for us to eat.  No matter the fact that she didn’t have a lot, she still managed to cook good food.

This beef stew recipe is one of those good food dishes. Now, I know that today you can go to the store to buy a canned stew, but you don’t have to do that! You can make a more nutritious, delicious stew yourself from scratch! It is so easy and only takes about an hour to be ready!

Making beef stew from scratch

To make this stew, you will need the beef and any vegetables that your family likes. My grandmothers beef stew recipe takes a slight turn from what you might find on the internet because she never used wines or vinegar in her broth.

This fiery beef stew is tomato-based, so it is somewhat like a soup but it is thick like a stew, so my Grandmother called it a stew, and that’s what I call it, too!

The other reason she labeled it as a stew was that she browned the meat, which helped to thicken the broth which made it more of a stew. Then she would let the meat simmer on low for about an hour, it made the beef meltingly tender.

I love to put lots of thyme, rosemary and parsley in my beef stew. I also like to use the canned fiery tomatoes in my stew. All of these delicious ingredients adds so much flavor to the thick broth.

So, if you want to give your family a delicious hearty stew, that will fill them with good nutrients and that will satisfy their hunger, make this Fiery beef stew!

Of course, if you don’t like the fiery idea just substitute with regular canned tomatoes you will still get that awesomeness in this meal!
