The great thing about Beef Stew is that you can use an inexpensive cut of beef. It doesn’t matter if the beef is tough because of how you slowly cook the stew.
If you’re not able to find pre-cut stew meat, you can cut a roast (look for a chuck roast or rump roast) into 1-inch, bite-sized cubes.
The cooking time will not vary a ton if you choose to use frozen vegetables or fresh vegetables. Just make sure to cook your beef stew on a slow simmer.
