Simple Ingredient Beef Stew
I’m always looking for an excuse to saute onions in red wine, and this recipe is a perfect way to use this combo. It adds additional flavor depth to the stew broth. I tried to keep the ingredient list simple, but you could continue adding other vegetables to this stew such as lima beans, cauliflower, kohlrabi, etc.
