One Hour Beef Stew image

Ever come home from work and want the comforting taste of a good old-fashioned stew? You don't have to wait for the weekend. A good quality meat is important so the stew cooks quickly. Of course, it's better when simmered for three hours but even one hour's cooking will produce a satisfying stew when prepared this way.
