Homemade Chicken Stew

There are nights when I want to cook, and nights when I want to throw things in a pot and do anything else other than cook. This stew is for the second kind. 😂

It’s one pan. It’s full of juicy chicken, buttery potatoes, sweet carrots, and a rich broth that tastes like you’ve been slaving over it – but you haven’t.

Perfect for busy nights, cool weather, or anytime you just want something warm, comforting, and vaguely impressive. Bonus: it freezes like a champ and the leftovers are chef’s kiss the next day.

Black Pepper Beef

This is NOT your average stir-fry, this is insanely delicious, glossy, Black Pepper Beef. It’s ready super quickly and is made with simple, recognisable ingredients from the supermarket. I’m using chuck steak which when tenderised (with bicarb/baking soda), transforms into restaurant-style, meltingly tender beef.

We make a conscious effort to prepare most of our meals at home and it’s meals like this that are quick and easy, that help us save money and reduce waste, without having to spend hours in the kitchen.

Once the stir-fry prep is done it’s onto a simple marinade for our tenderised beef. The beef is cooked in batches before the veg are added to the same pan with some pantry staples that create the most amazing sauce. The amount of pepper used determines the spice level and I’ve included black loads of different options in the recipe. We serve with either steamed rice or noodles, save this one for the next time you need some dinner inspiration, you will love it!

Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you the link! Otherwise you can find the recipe on my website, link in bio.

✔️ Risoni + sneaky veggies = full meal
✔️ On the table in 30
✔️ No washing up party afterward 🙌

¼ tsp cracked black pepper
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup (60 ml) water
