Oven Beef Stew

If all you find is stew meat on the bone, use at least 3 pounds. Meat on the bone gives a terrific flavor to dishes. It does have more flavor than meat cooked off the bone but is a bit less delicate to eat. This is why some people prefer T-bone steaks to boneless sirloin. The bone imparts flavor to the meat.

Courses: Soup
