🍲 Hearty Shorthorn Beef & Vegetable Stew

🍲 Hearty Shorthorn Beef & Vegetable Stew

A cozy, cold-weather classic straight from our family farm.

As the temperatures drop and chores get heavier with harvest season, there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of homemade stew simmering on the stove. This Beef & Vegetable Stew is one of our family favorites — simple, wholesome, and made even better with our grain-finished Shorthorn beef.

Packed with tender stew meat, hearty vegetables, and slow-simmered flavor, it’s the perfect comfort meal for busy families, meal preppers, and anyone looking for a nourishing fall or winter dinner.

🥩 Why Shorthorn Beef Makes This Recipe Better

Our Shorthorn cattle naturally produce tender, well-marbled beef with rich flavor — the kind you can taste in every bite. Because we raise them right here on our Missouri farm with hay, silage, and grain we grow ourselves, you get clean, consistent, high-quality beef every time.

Great beef makes great meals.
And this stew proves it.
