Italian Beef & Potato Stew Recipe

There’s nothing like the smell of a hearty winter stew wafting through your home on a cold evening, and this Italian beef and potato stew is one of the very best ones I have ever made. Juicy, fall-apart pieces of beef, chunks of potatoes, carrots and mushrooms in a flavoursome Italian broth. You can’t go wrong with this one, everyone will love it, young and old alike.

Prepare it on the stove top and pop it in the oven to bake for an hour and a half or cook it in your pressure cooker for 35 minutes instead. Serve your delicious stew with rice or pasta and loads of fresh, crusty bread to mop up the juices.
