The Unexpected Ingredient Your Beef Stew Is Lacking
By Heide Brandes
If you want to elevate the recipe of a traditional beef stew, one unexpected ingredient will bring together all the flavors of this "comfort food."
Made for salads and meat marinades and bursting with tangy vinegar, silky oil, and Italian spices, Italian dressing is the secret ingredient to elevate your beef stew.
It will take the blandness out of your beef stew and is a healthy way to add flavor at just 43 calories per tablespoon.
If you're using 3 pounds of cubed beef for your beef stew, just add ½ cup of Italian dressing to your favorite recipe, and you'll never go back to traditional beef stew.
