Step 1
Warm your guests up by serving beef stew on a cold winter night or any cool day. Stew always leaves people feeling warm and full.
-
Step 2
Serve your beef stew for casual family dinners or get-togethers in a large slow cooker. You can even take your famous beef stew to the church potluck this way.
-
Step 3
Give your beef stew a simple makeover to serve for a small get-together of friends or family. Put it in individual baking dishes, and top with a few croutons or chunks of French bread.
-
Step 4
Keep it simple on a weeknight, and dish the beef stew up in a large family-style bowl to set on the table. Everyone can dish their own out, and enjoy easy access to the seconds they are sure to want.
-
Step 5
Think outside the bowl. Scoop your beef stew into personal-sized bread bowls for each guest. Serve the stew in the middle of the table in a large cleaned out pumpkin shell.
-
Step 6
Look for simple side dishes such as rice pilaf or simple salad to serve with the beef stew. Pair beef stew with any vegetable or carbohydrate-based dish. Some people even like noodles on the side or to mix in with their stew.
-
Step 7
Choose a hard bread that softens when your guests dunk it or even spread their beef stew on top.
