Love beef stew, but not the time and work it takes to make it for dinner? Start pressure canning beef stew instead!

Pressure canning beef stew is so easy and the best part is, you’ll have it ready to eat on the shelf during the winter months. And on a cold, winter night, there is nothing better than a hot bowl of beef stew and some crusty bread!

How to Pressure Can Beef Stew

Start by preparing your canning supplies.

Wash and sanitize your jars, lids and rings.

You’ll need the following ingredients:

• Beef stew meat
• Potatoes
• Vegetables of your choice (I used potatoes, green beans and carrots)
• Garlic cloves
• Beef broth
• Salt
• Pepper
• Celery powder

Now, cut the stew meat into bite sized pieces.

Then, dice potatoes into bite sized pieces.

Finally, slice or dice vegetables.

Now that all of your ingredients and supplies are prepared, it’s time to fill your jars…

That’s right! No pre-cooking in this recipe!

Start by dropping a clove of garlic into each jar.

 

Then, move onto layering the meat into the bottom of each of the jars.

 

Layer potatoes on top of the meat.

 

Then, add the vegetables and spices.

 

Last, but not least, fill the jars with beef broth. Leave 1 inch of headspace.

Wipe the rims of your jars clean and cover with lids and rings.

Process in a pressure canner for 75 minutes.
