Here is a fast, 20 minute Beef Stew Recipe I know you are going to love. When winter hits, I start looking for those recipes that will warm my bones(especially being Canadian and dealing with our cold winters). One of my all time favourite recipes is my dad’s beef stew recipe. This stuff is hardy and so very yummy. My father did the majority of the cooking in our household and I have fond memories of this. Being raised by a single mother allowed him to develop all kinds of wonderful talents, like knitting barbie doll clothes and sewing our curtains and bedspreads. I also got my DIY knowledge from him. Let’s just say he was a man before his time.
