Beef stew with fruit chutney - Absolutely loved this recipe, but the 1.5kg of steak is way too much for 4 serves, am wondering if it is a typing error and it should be servings for 8 ?

The best - Both my hubby and I just love this…. I cook it slower if I have the time or I put it on the pressure cooker on my crockpot pot that has all different settings love it both ways…. Thank you so much for such a yummy recipe….

Make a big pot - I have been buying lots of beef chunks when they are on special and I make a big pot of this stew and save it in the freezer. I cut the carrots smaller and have tried using pumpkin and sweet pottao because not everything has been available. I have used the filling in my pie maker too. I have a big one and a small one. I love it and will probably make it in summer too alhough my wife might have had enough of the oven by then.
