HOW TO COOK BEEF STEW FOR DOGS
This dog food recipe is very similar to a humans in that the beef is seared, then added to vegetables and boiled in a pot.
The biggest difference in this homemade dog food recipe to ours is that there is no stock. When cooking a stew for a dog, avoid any stock cubes or stock as it is of no benefit to the dog. The stock may have ingredients such as garlic or onions that are not advisable to be consumed by dogs.
This recipe could be cooked in an instant pot or slow cooker too.
RECIPE TIPS
The broccoli can be swapped with peas or green beans.
Store the leftover beef stew in the fridge in a sealed container. It should last for 3 days.
Leftovers can be frozen. Defrost thoroughly before warming to serve.

even without making this yet, i know it will be a 5star bc i follow your human recipes & they've never failed me. always "divalicious"! I've read thru all of them & forgive me if i'm overlooking my answer, but how much is a serving amt? (other than the treats) i see some make 10 servings or 6 med servings, but does that equal to 1 & 1/2 c or less? i'm new to this but so hate the dry dog food that causes such tummy problems for our "pack". thank you for all the time and effort you put into your work & again forgive me if i'm overlooking something so obvious

Hello,
Thank you for the recipe, i made this and my dog and he LOVED IT! I do have a question, in the recipe you call for one broccoli, is that one crown of broccoli? i wasn't sure so i substituted some peas in place.
AngelaC says
Hi Derrick! Delighted your dog loved it! The broccoli was one head/crown. About a medium sized one.
