It looks good. Can I do it on stove
You bet you can. Do everything the exact same way but the stew will be ready sooner and you will have to stir more frequently. Depending on how high of a temperature you cook it on and at the rate the stew simmers at. This is a favorite around here. Please let me know what you think when you try it. I would love to hear! Take care and all the best. Karin
