A simple one pot beef stew made with tender beef brisket, carrots and whatever I had in the fridge. I didn’t have regular potatoes, so I used sweet potato instead and honestly, it turned out really good! It’s hearty, comforting and very family friendly, especially served with a bowl of rice.
If your kids don’t want rice, serve the beef stew with toast or sourdough bread instead. They can dip the bread into the gravy. Or simply eat it with macaroni instead of rice ..
For younger kids : Shred or break the beef into smaller pieces.
I used sweet potato because I didn’t have regular potatoes, but regular potatoes work too.
This is very much a use what you have kind of stew, so feel free to add whatever vegetables you have in the fridge.
If you prefer a thinner gravy, simply use less cornstarch.
I used beef brisket, but other suitable stewing cuts can work too.
My kids ate it happily with rice, and the sweet potato gave the stew a slightly sweeter taste, which they seemed to enjoy.

A simple Japanese comfort meal that’s light, nourishing and incredibly easy to make. When I want something warm but not too heavy, this is one of my favourite meals.

It’s simple enough for busy weekdays, yet satisfying enough that all four of my kids finished everything.
