1 serving (medium) of Beef Stew with Vegetables (250 g) has 238 calories. That works out to 95 calories per 100 g. It contains 17 g of carbs, 18.8 g of protein, 10.5 g of fat and 4.3 g of fiber. Its 2.8 µg of B12 covers 115% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Beef stew with vegetables brings chunks of beef together with vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, peas and onions, slowly cooked in a savoury gravy until tender. Recipes vary from household to household, and the sauce may be built from browned meat, stock and seasonings.
The beef gives the dish a deep, savoury flavour, while the vegetables soften and add a little sweetness; the gravy is often thick enough to spoon over the rest of the meal. It is served hot as a filling main course, commonly with bread, potatoes or rice, depending on local tradition. Beef makes it a source of protein and iron, while the vegetables contribute fibre. For a lighter version, use less added fat and add extra vegetables.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Brown the beef in batches, then cook the onion with seasoning and a little tomato paste. Add broth and simmer until the meat is nearly tender; add potatoes, carrots, and peas later so the vegetables keep their shape.
Chuck is a dependable choice for beef stew with vegetables because its connective tissue softens during slow cooking and gives the gravy body. Beef shank or brisket can also work; cut the meat into evenly sized chunks.
Keep beef stew with vegetables at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil, and allow the beef enough time to soften. If the meat is still chewy, continue cooking it in the liquid before adding delicate vegetables.
Yes, beef stew with vegetables works well in a slow cooker. Brown the beef first for deeper flavor, then cook it with the broth and sturdy vegetables; add peas near the end so they do not become mushy.
To thicken beef stew with vegetables, simmer it uncovered until some liquid evaporates, or stir in a small flour-and-water slurry and cook it through. For a gluten-free option, mash a few cooked potato pieces into the gravy.
Potatoes, carrots, onions, and peas are common in beef stew with vegetables. Celery, mushrooms, or parsnips are also good additions; add quick-cooking vegetables later than the beef and sturdier ingredients.
Serve beef stew with vegetables with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. Bread is especially useful for soaking up the gravy, while a crisp salad adds contrast to the rich stew.
Beef stew with vegetables keeps for about three to four days in the refrigerator when promptly cooled and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you need, bringing it all the way through to steaming hot.
Yes, beef stew with vegetables can be frozen in airtight, meal-sized containers once cooled. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly; potatoes may become softer after freezing, but the stew will still be suitable to eat.
Beef stew with vegetables can turn watery if the pot is crowded or covered throughout cooking, leaving little liquid to evaporate. Simmer it uncovered near the end, and avoid adding too much broth at the start.
