Recipe of the Week: French Oven Beef Stew

Description

Frigid Wisconsin temperatures call for a cut of beef to be cooked low and slow until meltingly tender and succulent. And the best cuts? Look for our farmers' chuck roasts, rump roasts, or briskets. Some of our farmers even sell already cubed 'beef stew meat', ready for your slow-cooker.

Pot roast and stew recipes abound on the internet, but we have found no match for this familial recipe that is literally from Grandma! Enjoy this stew with crusty bread and a fresh side salad.
