In all my years of cooking I've never cooked beef stew, until tonight!
I softened onions, browned the beef with them, added a chopped stick of celery and 2 carrots and some Worcester sauce, then I covered it all with water and a beef stock cube Will this turn out ok do you think? Or will it be putrid and I'd be better ordering takeaway??

Celery, Worcester sauce
Sounds delicious apart from the celery and Worcester sauce.

It will turn out fine Lee although if you wanted it to thicken up quite a bit you should have browned the beef with some flour.
I wouldn't have used celery though I can't stand the stuff. |

I wasnt sure about the Worcester sauce tbh but I put it in my mince and it always tastes nice! Carrots and celery were the only veg I had too.. Ach well if it's crap, I'll have beans on toast!

It's not how I'd make it but I've never tasted it that way so i couldn't say how it would turn out. When I make it, I put potatoes, carrots, onions sometimes turnip in a pot and use a stew mix with water and a stock cube. I then boil it and let it simmer for atleast two hours

I also add either some tinned tomatoes or passata to my stews and casseroles, that's individual preference though.

This. Great tip. Forget the tinned tomatoes and add any kind of wine.
