 Trying my hand at beef stew for the first time. It's braising in the oven right now and I'm very nervous 🤞🤞🤞

Beef initiative beef ( @KCCattleCompany ) and Peony Lane ( @BenJustman ) wine were used. I hope I don't put them to shame. 
 I expect photos when it's done.  
 Will do. Here's an in progress in the meantime.

 Looks great so far.  
 Thanks 😁

It looks about the same now that it's done, but the meat is super tender and there are carrots and potatoes now. 
 Excellent!  
 oh thats gonna slap. 
 
 It's pretty slappy 🔥

It'll get better the more I make it for sure. 
 Practice makes the slap happen. 
 you got this Jay!

wish I could taste it 
 Thanks! It turned out pretty good, probably due in no small part to the good wine 😊😁 
 Don’t fail us. This is for all the marbles. 
 Now that it's done, I can safely say, I have not failed you 🫡 
 Beef stew was a success, thank God 😁

The meat readily falls apart and the veggies are extremely soft, and it tastes pretty good too. Not bad for my first try. Quality meat goes a long way.

Though I'm wondering if I should thicken up the broth with some more flour or just keep it nice and soupy 🤔

 The stew looks absolutely amazing. Great job for the first try. This is a weekly staple at my house. 
 Thank you! I made so much, it'll last me a really long time 😅
