Make a batch of hearty beef stew and pressure can it for an easy and delicious meal any time of the day. To serve, heat and add a little roux to thicken and add a handful of frozen peas, if desired. We also like to serve over wide egg noodles and with crusty bread and butter.

NOTE: You must use a pressure canner for this recipe. You cannot use a boiling water canner or a pressure cooker. Please follow the canning instructions carefully and do not add additional ingredients or alter the recipe for safety reasons. I bought my 23-quart Presto pressure canner for around $100 and it has been a wonderful, reliable workhorse for many years.

Difficulty level: Intermediate to experienced

Yield: Makes about about 25 pint jars or 12 quart jars (may need to pressure can in two batches depending on your pressure canner’s size)

Prepare pressure canner, jars, and lids according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For this recipe, the jars must be heated prior to filling them. Place rack in the pressure canner and place jars on the rack. Fill jars halfway with water and add the recommended amount of water to the canner.

Filled Dutch Oven for Beef Stew with Vegetables Pressure Canning Recipe | CanningCrafts.com

In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Working in batches, brown beef, adding additional oil if needed, a small amount at a time. The less oil used, the better. When all beef is browned, return any beef from previous batches to the Dutch oven or pot and add potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, shallots, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cover with beef broth and add extra water if needed to cover the beef and the other ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. This step is not to cook the beef and vegetables, but simply get everything heated through.
