The oven takes care of all the hard work.
Beef Stew has always been my comfort food of choice. It’s warm and cozy on chilly nights. But, until recently I hadn’t made it quite this way. This No-Peek Beef Stew requires no effort. It’s not necessary to simmer anything on the stove. Instead, all you need to do is stir the ingredients together in a casserole and let the oven do the rest. It’s a different process, but the end result is tender beef and vegetables in a rich, savory broth. It’s simple and delicious.
