Braised Beef Stew Recipe and Le Creuset Cookware Sale

Our Le Creuset cast iron round French oven is on sale and with FREE shipping — which, considering how heavy these high quality enameled cast iron cookware are, free shipping alone is a deal!  Just like the madeleine pan that went on sale last week (unfortunately the deal is gone this week but we’ll keep you posted if it goes on sale again), our Le Creuset French ovens were also part of the first items added to our “Favorite Things” section at the boutique .  We thought you may want to know that Amazon dropped the price on them.  We have a few sizes of Le Creuset cast iron French ovens in the Art of the Home kitchens but the 7 1/4 quart piece is the one we use the most for stews (with leftovers) and to slow roast pork or whole chicken.

Braised Beef Stew Recipe and Le Creuset Cookware Sale

This old fashion enameled cast iron Le Creuset French oven (cocotte Le Creuset) has been used in French kitchens since 1925 and is used more and more in American kitchen – we certainly could not cook without ours!  You may recognize the world -renowned cocotte from the movie Julie and Julia where you see Julie recreate Julia Child’s famous boeuf Bourguignon.  She uses the 5 1/2 quart Le Creuset round French oven, a good size for stews serving about 4 or to cook side dishes.  Both the 7 1/4 Quart and the 5 1/4 Quart are on sale this week so we included both for your consideration as well as the Le Creuset oval French oven (5 quart) — the one we use when we need a smaller size pot.  Either one of these Le Creuset French ovens will make the moistest roast or braised chicken you’ll ever taste.  And for stews?  The slow cooking in cast iron gives them this depth of flavor and aroma that is hard to replicate.  So whether you want to get it for yourself or offer it as a gift (another great idea for a Christmas gift, as well as housewarming or wedding gifts, sure to bring delicious memories for decades to come – the gift that keeps on giving!), check below for more info one these deals as well as our recipe link to the Art of the Home braised beef with carrots recipe — a French classic stew sure to please the entire family!

    I made this stew for my dear husband’s birthday last week. It turned out so good and was delicious! I served a side of green peas and pearl onions – and baguette. Leftovers the next day was just as good! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
