African-Style Oxtail Stew
Oxtail is my favorite meal and I serve this African-style oxtail stew recipe to all my friends and use it for my frozen food business. Everyone loves it. I call it God's food as it is so delicious!

Homemade Beef Stew
A homemade beef stew recipe for the stovetop. This traditional stew is good eaten from a bowl or poured over biscuits. Substitute lamb and voila!... Irish stew! If thicker stew is desired, add more cornstarch and/or take the cover off for the last 15 to 20 minutes. The longer this simmers, the better! Vary the herbs to your taste.
