Do you still use the same basic recipe, @Jaymes? Basic stewing beef = chuck? Any other suggestions or just keep it simple? 

 

 

 

I do still use that same basic recipe.  Got it so many years ago and am still pretty happy with it.  I will use chuck, but it's fatty, so tend to go for a leaner cut if I'm going to be serving the stew that night.  If I'm making it ahead, and it has time to sit in the fridge and let the fat congeal so that I can remove it easily, I'll go with chuck.

 

But I made this a lot in the days when I had a big family to feed so I'd often just use whatever beef was on sale.
