My cosmos flowers were making me so happy this October!
One of my sisters told us that the secret of a good beef stew lies in the cut of meat. So use beef shoulder blade or beef chuck roast cuts for a tender beef stew. All these years I wondered why my beef stew was lacking. I hope you will try these cuts for your next beef stew! Were you in on this secret? The beef stew as labelled in the supermarkets is not the same.

I think stew is better reheat it.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Gosh! I haven't made beef stew in ages and ages! Your cosmos are beautiful. I've always loved the bright colors that cosmos display and their delicate, feathery leaves.
You are absolutely right. Just because it's labeled "Stew Meat" doesn't make a good stew. The better cut, the better the stew.
I like to use brisket or shoulder for the stew.
That's a great tip from our sister, thanks for sharing! Hugs, Valerie
So good to know. (I love the flowers!) Well, I just stew the meat in the crock-pot and it's pretty good with cornbread.
I love the cosmos.
I'm not the best cook!
Wow, are so nice!!! Love them
I would never know the difference
The Cosmos look gorgeous.
I love cosmos and your's are so tall.

Lindas flores te mando un beso
Cosmos are really a cheerful flower. I love stew but my family doesn't so I rarely get to enjoy it.
We don't make beef stew but i know my mom use to and if i remember she was particular about the cut of beef she used.
I do like the Cosmos.
When I make a beef casserole I use 'braising steak.' Here in the UK, the most common cuts of beef sold as braising (or stewing) steak include chuck, skirt, leg and flank – all hardworking muscles that are tough and need long, slow cooking. In return these fairly inexpensive cuts will reward you with a rich, unctuous dish that's full of deep flavour.
These casseroles smell so good when cooking, and are delicious for cooler months.
All the best Jan
