5-Hour Oven Beef Stew
How about a hearty, beefy slow cook meal for your soul?
Here, I’m excited to share with you my favorite 5-hour slow cooked oven beef stew recipe. It is a melt-in-your-mouth perfection that is less than 400 calories and satisfies the whole family.
I don’t know about you but I love a hearty, beefy and satisfying meal that I can enjoy now and still save some for later. On busy weeks, I like to just whip up a wholesome meal that will not only last me for days but enough to make for the whole family.
The slow cook oven beef stew is a family classic. You simply can’t go wrong with it even if your family members are picky eaters. So I’ve put my own spin on it with a slow cook method using the traditional oven.
Easy to Prepare
Prepping takes only 30 minutes with only cutting and chopping involved and not much else. Then you stick it into the oven and let it cook for 5 hours. It’s worth the wait, trust me!
The slow cooking ensures that the meat slowly cooks to tenderized perfection. What you’ll get is meat so soft it falls right off the bone and melts in your mouth!
Simple Ingredients
Even the ingredients are simple staples – you may already have them at home now and won’t need to buy anything else. I have made the recipe so simple that you won’t need to step out of the house unless you really need to.
All you need is beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, celery and simple seasonings like garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Feel free to adjust and add or substitute with other fresh ingredients your family loves – the star of the show is the beef meat!
For the stew, we keep it simple but still satisfying using a classic cream of mushroom base. You can make your own stew base to make it even more low-calorie.
But to save time, I’ve used a regular cream of mushroom mixed with water. You may also use a tomato based soup for this. Add seasonings to taste.
We hope you enjoy this 5-Hour Oven Beef Stew recipe as much as we do.
