Learn how to make your very own multipurpose beef stew seasoning mix using just 8 common pantry ingredients from scratch with or without a spice grinder. It all comes together in only a matter of minutes.
If you have been following my blog since the beginning then you will quickly realise that I am partial to making own seasoning from scratch.
This is another seasoning recipe that can be made within a matter of minutes for so many steak or beef based recipes. Suitable for paleo and gluten free lifestyles.
Don't be fooled by the title of this post, this flavoursome stew seasoning mix compliments more than just a hearty stew.
I've used it for various types of red meat including, lamb, goat and mutton and it works like a treat. You even use it in my Plantain Lasagna too.
I do tend to use it more in different beef recipes so you can definitely use some on things like steak, curries, brisket etc.. with no problems.
Reasons to make homemade seasoning

How to make beef stew seasoning
- Add all of the ingredients to a spice grinder and mill into a fine consistency and store in an airtight container.
- If you don't have a grinder simply mix all of the ingredients together and store in a jar.
Notes and tips
- It is recommended to store your blended spice mix in a spice jar.
- To ensure good quality shelf life of your seasoning make sure to store in a pantry or somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight.
- Label and date the spice jar so you can easily identify the spice blend.
- It's best to use dried herbs and spices because they have a longer lifespan
- For best results, use the spice blend within a year of making it.
- Adding sodium is optional, I know some people, depending on the recipe, may want to add sodium to the actual dish instead. I prefer to include it in my blended mix but that decision is in your hands.

How much do you use for one pot of beef stew?
Charla says
The amount you need is subjective to the weight of the meat.
