These past few days have been cool, cloudy, and rainy. One can’t help but think of comfort food when the weather is like that. A warm and Hearty Beef Stew to fill the belly felt right and beef on sale at the grocery store was a positive confirmation of that decision. Only $3.99 per pound for a beautiful chunk of meat.

Seasonal Cooking

I believe in seasonal cooking by taking advantage of fresh seasonal produce. At this time of the year, there is an abundance of potatoes and onions at the farmer’s markets. Just last week, Ro-Ri San purchased a bag of potatoes and a few gigantic sweet onions from the Hmong market on his way home from work. They came in handy for this recipe.

I love the different varieties of potatoes found at the farmer’s market. Some like these ones appear to be peeling on their own. They look so fresh and tasted so good. These are fluffy and starchy potatoes and so they work well as thickening agents. There was no need for me to add any flour to the stew which was nice, especially for those on a gluten free diet.

I kept this recipe simple with very little flavorings – just salt and pepper. The sweet onion together with some organic carrots I had in the refrigerator lend sufficient flavor to the stew. I used canned diced tomatoes for convenience but you can certainly chopped up a few fresh tomatoes instead.

IFBC 2017

Speaking of beef and fresh produce, I want to share with you my upcoming trip to the International Food Bloggers Convention 2017 in Sacramento, California next month. I am excited because this is the first time I am going to a food blogger conference. I am looking forward to learning new things and meeting people behind the blogs I read every day. Ro-Ri San is also going as he will be representing Malaysian Chinese Kitchen. In case you are not aware of it, he writes the stories and cultural bits over there.

Together we have signed up for the post-conference excursion to El Dorado Wines where we will be escorted to Skinner Vineyards for a tour and a farm to table brunch prepared by Table Nectar. This is great because I have always wanted to attend one of these farm to table events.

We will also get an opportunity to visit Placerville Downtown for a historic walking tour with cheese and wine pairing, olive oil and charcuterie tasting. The final stop that evening will be at Boeger Winery for a dinner prepared by The Butcher’s Kitchen. On the menu is dry aged prime angus beef ribeye roast, prepared old school style-over a wood fire. Wow…I cannot wait!

So please stay tuned. We will have lots of pictures and stories to share after the conference. Until then, please enjoy this Hearty Beef Stew prepared with love and farm fresh produce. 😉

    Hi Linda,

    Just wondering how much potatoes is needed ? I notice there is not mention in the ingredients list.
    Also do we need to steam or deep fried the potatoes?

    Thank you.

      Sorry about that, Esther. I have now added the potatoes to the ingredients list. Thanks for pointing it out. No need to steam or deep fry. They can simply be cooked in the stew.

    Hi Linda, this is the first stew I’ve ever made as I haven’t been a fan of them, but was looking for some comfort food. Fantastic easy recipe with plenty of leftovers, my husband and I LOVED it, thank you ❤️
