Beef Stew is one of the most useful meals a traveller in Skyrim can cook. Chunks of beef are simmered with carrot, garlic and salt into a thick stew that does far more than fill the stomach. Every character knows the recipe from the start, so all that is needed is the four ingredients and a cooking pot.
Effects
- Maximum Stamina +25 for 720 seconds
- Restores 2 Stamina per second for 720 seconds
Instead of a one-off heal, the stew gives a long twelve-minute buff. That makes it well suited to characters who rely on sprinting and power attacks, since the extra Stamina pool and steady regeneration reduce how often you have to stop and open a menu to recover.
How to make it
Use any cooking pot or cooking spit with:
- 1x Raw Beef (see Raw Meat)
- 1x Carrot (see Fruit and Vegetables)
- 1x Salt Pile
- 1x Garlic
Where to find it
Cook it yourself at one of the many cooking places in the province, such as Alvor and Sigrid’s house in Riverwood or The Bannered Mare in Whiterun.
Good to know
If you only need a quick bite, the same beef can be turned into Cooked Beef with nothing but salt, though that dish only heals Health.
