This one pot beef and red wine stew is straightforward to make and is a warming, hearty and delicious meal for a chilly evening or family lunch. It is naturally gluten free (and easily made dairy free) and has a beautiful richness from the red wine sauce.

Serve with smooth, buttery mashed potato and your choice of greens (broccoli, asparagus or green beans are all perfect partners for this stew). It works both as a family meal and as a dinner party dish.

I used to think stews would be complicated to make and involve a lot of effort, but actually they are one of the simplest dishes. You do about 15 minutes of active cooking to assemble the stew, then bung it in the oven for a few hours where it turns into something glorious!

So How Do I Make This Stew Dairy Free?

A very simple switch, simply skip the addition of the butter with the meat and use an extra tablespoon of olive oil instead.
