    Electric Skillet Classic Beef Stew

    Jump to Recipe

    Is there anything more comforting than a bubbling pot of stew? The warm steam and tantalizing smells will fill your kitchen, making stomachs rumble and hearts sigh in contentment.

    Such is the power of Classic Beef Stew with Potatoes and Carrots. We have adapted the recipe so that you can make it in your electric frying pan. Believe us, electric skillet beef stew is just as good- or better!- than stove top, due to the ease with which you can cook your meal.

    For those of you who are daring culinary adventurers, this recipe allows for experimentation. After all, within reason, what doesn't taste good in a stew? You could add seasonal vegetables such as squash, mushrooms, or corn.

    If you have an herb garden, this recipe is the perfect time to experiment with your flavorful plants: try adding basil, oregano, parsley, and/or thyme. Try adding some kimchi to your stew for an Asian twist. Either way, your electric skillet beef stew will be delicious.

    While your stew is bubbling away, you will have time to select the perfect wine. Some of the most popular wines to pair with a rich stew are a red Bordeaux, Argentinian Malbec, or a Cabernet Sauvignon. The dark fruit flavors and tannins complement the savory, meaty taste of the stew.
