Poor Man's Kitchen Episode 1 Beef Stew

Poor Man’s Kitchen — Episode 1: Beef Stew Welcome to Episode 1 of Poor Man’s Kitchen! We’re kicking things off with one of the ultimate comfort foods: beef stew. I’m going to show you how I make a big pot of hearty beef stew using 2 pounds of beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and a packet of beef stew seasoning — without spending all day doing prep. The goal of Poor Man’s Kitchen is simple: 10 minutes or less of actual prep whenever possible, use smart shortcuts, make good-sized portions, and keep the cost down. For this stew, we ended up with 9 generous servings, at approximately $3.10 per serving. I'll also take a quick look at the history of beef stew and how this simple, filling meal became a classic comfort food. No fancy chef techniques. No unnecessary work. Just good food, big portions, and getting it done. Welcome to Poor Man’s Kitchen!
