The next time you make a lackluster beef stew, grab this surprising beverage.
Just pour it in the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking, you’ll be amazed.
Why Does V8 Help Lackluster Beef Stew?
I havent had V8 in years, though it used to be a staple at our house.
The drink has enough body that it wont water down your stew.
Thats like deluxe vegetable stock and then some.
Honestly, I could go for a glass right now.
V8 also has a balanced flavor profile, acidic enough to brighten the stew without overpowering it.
In fact, I used to add a splash to myminestronefor the very same reason.
