As much as we like the idea of a stew that sits on the stove all day long, too much time will result in dry beef and mushy veggies. It depends on how much stew you’re actually making, but the sweet spot is about 2–3 hours. C’mon—you need some crusty bread to sop up the leftover bits in the bowl.
How do you make Beef Bourguignon thicker?
