Description
I know, i know, not another beef stew recipe. But, after reviewing 5 pages of beef stew recipes posted here, this does not appear to be a duplicate. It's our favorite. When i use my pressure cooker it's ready in less than an hour, and the flavor can't be beat. Note for the world tour participants – stews are an english tradition, and typically include meat and root vegetables. English peas are also very common in british cookery.
