Stuff to know
This quantity will feed 60 people.
Stewing the beef first and adding the mushrooms and bell pepper later avoid the latter becoming soggy.
It allows you to make the stew ahead of time and only cook the mushrooms and bell pepper when reheating the stew.
Correct the thickness of the sauce if need be by stirring in some corn starch mixed with cold water. The sauce will thicken when boiling.
Use chicken instead of beef.
