Beef, Leeks and Mushroom Stew

I was given again a pack of vegetables which contains a variety of items that includes herbs, salad leaves and leeks. We almost consumed most of it before the week ends except for the leeks. Today I will be using the leeks in our beef stew which will give a mild sweet flavour and also pairs well with gravies.

This stew is very simple and like any other stews we just brown the meat, sauté the vegetables and let it simmer in a good stock and wait until meat is really tender. It is such a comfort meal especially on a cold weather. You can enjoy it on its own, with rice, with mashed potatoes or even with some boiled and/or baked spuds.
