Put a little Indian twist on dinner tonight with this Dutch Oven Beef Stew! It’s the perfect recipe for cool weather and will warm you right up!
What makes this Dutch Oven Beef Stew Indian-Style?
If you’ve read any of my other recipes , you know I don’t like to do things the traditional way. I love taking recipes and adding my own twist to them, and in this case, it’s my Dutch Oven Beef Stew with an Indian twist!
I’ve added some Garam Masala (which is a common Indian spice blend ) and some other Indian flavors to this Beef Stew to make this a little more fun and a little less traditional, but a lot more delicious!
Can You Overcook A Beef Stew?
Yes, you can overcook a beef stew. Though it does take some time to cook a proper dutch oven beef stew, you don’t want to leave it cooking all day.
If you allow it to cook for too long it can make the beef dry and the vegetables will turn into absolute mush. Just stick to the two hours and it’ll turn out wonderfully!
By the way, I also have an Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe you might like or an Instant Pot Classic Pot Roast that is super popular.
How Do You Make Beef Stew Meat Tender?
Beef stew meat can be a fairly tough cut of meat. The best way to make sure that it becomes tender is to make sure it cooks for long enough, and on a low enough heat.
That means this isn’t one of those recipes that you can try and speed up by adjusting the cooking time or your oven’s temperature.
I know, I know, I’m not the most patient person either, but I assure you that it is well worth the wait.
