If you love stews but don’t have the time (or patience) to wait 2–3 hours for the meat to braise properly, check out this gorgeous recipe! You can prepare the stew from scratch and have it ready to serve in less than an hour. The secret is to use minced beef instead of tougher cuts of meat, which can be difficult to cook properly if you don’t allow them enough time to slow cook in the oven. So, whether you’re in a rush because your guests are knocking at the door or you’re craving some stew yourself, don’t hesitate to try the method below.
