Dear Allie, this looks like a perfect meal for one of our cold winter evenings. I love that you don’t need to brown the meat first – saving time and dishes – ideal. A lovely comfort food, we’ll be serving it up around here soon! Thanks for sharing! Xo

In reply to Adina. Hi Adina, thank you so much. You can substitute the 6 tablespoons of tapioca with 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed smooth in a little water, added to the remaining gravy ingredients. Or do the same with 3 tablespoons potato starch. Or with an equal amount (6 tablespoons) of flour. Each of those substitutions should be mixed with water until they're a smooth paste and then added to the gravy mixture. Sure hope you enjoy this recipe, and have a beautiful weekend!

It looks so delicious, I love a good stew. How could I replace tapioca, I could never find it around here?

In reply to Mandi Korn. Hi Mandy, many thanks for dropping by. This bowl is one of a kind, made by a local Sister of Mercy nun named Regina. She makes pottery, has her own show and sells it once a year. I love it too! The color is amazing. Hope you and your family enjoy this stew. Thanks so much for dropping by.

In reply to Laura @MotherWouldKnow. Hi Laura, you got all the snow!!! I so appreciate your honesty, and I too was dubious about the "no browning" part. My mom made this recipe first, and it comes from an old friend of hers who has made it for years. Anyway, she invited my mom over for lunch and my mom's been talking about the recipe ever since. I was amazed how tender the beef was. Such an easy recipe. Thank you for dropping by!

It’s been so cold and snowy around here, this stew sounds perfect. I’m a bit dubious about the “no browning” part when it comes to the meat, but I’m intrigued enough to try it. As Melanie said, this would be great in a slow cooker.

What a great recipe, this stew is a true comfort food! I agree, browning the meat is such a waste of time 🙂 This recipe would work well in a slow cooker too!
