Is always better the next day. Made a venison stew for supper last night, and had enough left for supper again tonight. It was a simple stew with carrots, potatoes, onions, and some deer meat. Hard to beat a good stew served over rice on a cool night.
I've got a huge beef roast thawing out to make a stew with tomorrow night.
I usually cut the beef into 1" chunks, season with salt and pepper, then sear them in a little grease. Pull the beef and set aside. I then sautee my sliced onions and chopped celery, add some minced garlic, and then carrots once the onions are clear. Crank up the heat and deglaze with a dark beer. Add beef back, fill the rest of the space with beef broth, and season with whatever you feel like. I add half a can of tomato paste. Thicken with flour, and cook on low heat for a couple hours.
I don't do potatoes in my stew normally. Never have.
