This is a near classic beef stew recipe, however, I made a few modifications to suit my taste: added 3/4 cup red wine used 2 large onions 1/4 cup minced parsley used 4 potatoes instead of 6 This is easy and very warming on a chilly Fall day.

This was very bland to us even with adding extra salt, pepper and a bay leaf. I probably would not make again. Sorry.

This is a great recipe. I also added fresh green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking time. Thank you for submitting. I will definitely use this recipe in the future. I really liked that this recipe used most ingredients that you stock in your kitchen.

not very flavorful, not thick, was much more like a soup. I like more of a tomato base for my stew as well. won't make this again.

Excellent. I did through in a couple of bay leaves and 1/2 cup of Burgandy wine. I also used 2 TBS of Worchestire sauce and 5 can of beef broth because 3 did not cover all of the vegi's. This is the tastiest beef stew ever.

This recipe didn't work for me, and I followed it to a tee. I added all the ingredients the recipe asks for and didn't put in the extra flour. I let it simmer for two hours, like it says, but the broth turned clumpy and way too thick. It started to gel when I took it off the stove! What went wrong? We ate it anyways and it tasted fine, but certainly not the best I've had.

This stew is the best recipe I've ever tried. I used "stew meat" from the store and it turned out so incredibly tender. The flavor is good but I added a bay leaf for a little extra. My family loved it - even the picky 10 year old.

This beef stew ROCKS! I couldn't believe how tender the meat came out. I also bought just beef for stew (cheaper). My husband loved it and so did my 5 year old. Definitly adding this recipe to my "frequents". Thanks!

Great recipe - I substituted the beef for stewing pork and it was great! Will make again and again.

It was good, but I thought a little too bland. And maybe stews are supposed to be bland. I probably won't make it again.

Fabulous. I drooled all day as this cooked. I bought the cheapest marbled sterak I could find and did this recipe exactly. I would do it again and again if my family loved stew as much as I do. I make batches of it for myself and freeze it. Yum.

This was good, but I think next time I will add a couple of bullion cubes to give it a little more flavor. I added about 1/3 c red wine to give it a little kick. All 5 of my kids loved it,even the picky eater! I will make this again. Thank you.
