Agree. Simple salad, if anything at all.

Peas go IN the stew, not on the side.

I agree with the bread and butter (or margarine for the dairy free guest) poster. Stew is a meal unto itself.


Please go sit in time out for 10 minutes, and think about where your life went wrong.

Yuck


Hahah! It is quite the heavy dinner.

I'd do some french bread and side salad.

I agree with those who said simple salad. Beef stew is a rich, hearty dish - you want a contrast, something bright and acidic.

Simple salad with vinaigrette (greens, maybe cucumber and red pepper) and bread + butter/olive oil.

I'm making a beef stew with carrots and potatoes and plan to have egg noodles. Do I need a side? Simple salad? One of the guests must be dairy free.
