Beef stewed in a frying pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, chicken can be substituted, but reduce the cooking time since chicken cooks faster than beef. Cut into cubes and adjust simmering to ~30 minutes.
For a dairy-free substitute, try coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative. It will add a slightly different flavor but maintain creaminess.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of water.
Yes! Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove, stirring occasionally.
Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread. A fresh salad or steamed greens add a nice contrast.
Add red pepper flakes, cayenne, or a diced chili pepper with the garlic for extra heat. Adjust to taste.
Absolutely! Brown the meat first, then transfer to a slow cooker with other ingredients (except cream). Cook on low for 6–7 hours, stir in cream before serving.
Tough beef means it needs more time. Simmer longer (add water if dry) until fork-tender. Tougher cuts like chuck benefit from slow cooking.
