Thanks for this great recipe. My family doesn't usually eat leftovers but they loved it the first day AND the next. Thanks again

Don't hesitate to try this recipe. My family couldn't get enough of it - next time I'll double it. I took the meat off the heat afer only 1 1/2 hours; the meat was incredibly tender and the sauce was delicious.

Excellent recipe! I did mine in the slow cooker on low for 12 hours (yikes!) but it turned out fine. Highly recommended! I didn't use the brown sugar (partyly because I was doing it in the crock pot and didn't want it to burn, partly because I thought the sauce was sweet enough without it.)

This is a family favorite. When my husband and kids find out I am making this, they drool until it is done. Well worth the time and little effort. Have been making for years and still a hit!

Tasty meal..... all the girls in my family loved it (ages 7, 9 and fortysomething). Very similar to my moms Czech cooking.

Love this recipe make it every couple of weeks. I use beef broth instead of water. Think it brings more flavor to the meat. Simple to make and great over egg noodles.I have also made this with mash potatoes. I put carrots in the last 1/2 hour for a vegetable. Simple dinner.

Love this dish, my mother made it for years, ingredients are exact to the one she made but she added 1/2 tsp of red pepper, it gives a nice bit of heat to this great dish.

Super easy and really tasty! I used a little olive oil instead of butter. There was PLENTY of sauce at the end... I probably could have cooked it longer without a lid to dry it up a bit. I served it over egg noodles. Delicious!

I admit I made major changes to this recipe. First, the shortening had to go. I used about 2 TBS. olive oil, which was plenty. I nixed the ketchup too, and just used tomato paste with a little water. I only simmered a little over an hour, and it was perfectly tender. Served over spaetzle noodles, with peas on the side. Everyone enjoyed this.

great recipe, I also cook it in the crockpot. But I cook everything in the crockpot, so I can go to work and come home for dinner..

The first time i made this i didn't have paprika, so i added about 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper, and 1 1/2 tbsp of black pepper sauce. I left it to simmer, and the heat must have been too high so the sauce dried up a bit and the onions caramelized... I thought I burned the dish but I managed to rescue it with 1/4 cup of water, and it turned out really delicious - because the onions had caramelized the sauce had turned almost into a puree and looks very similar to the photo posted. The second time I cooked it, I used paprika (and added 1/2 tbsp of black pepper sauce which i love), and turned out wonderful! SERVING SUGGESTION: I serve this over a plate of pasta, topped with egg (sunny side up). Yummmy.

I followed some others advice and made this in the crock pot...made it a lot easier! (omitteed the shortening) It tasted good (even the kids liked it), but it might be tastier with potatoes in the mix...maybe some carrots too.

I made this years ago when I was in Holland; I ran out of the ketchup one day (at about 1/2 cup) so went to the local Spar market to get more - all they had was Curryketchup, so I used it as the remaining 1/4 cup - it came out great! When I returned to the States, Curryketchup wasn't readily available, so I added about 1/2 tsp curry powder to it (that's a "guesstimate")- still good! Also added mushrooms. My daughter was asking about this recipe a couple days ago, and I couldn't find it...until now! Thanks for posting it!

We have been looking for a flavorful beef stew recipe and this is IT. I substituted substitute 1T grey poupon mustard for the mustard seed, and added 1/2C red wine. I added 1/2C diced celery and about a cup of baby carrots. I also cooked the beef in the crock pot instead of on the stove. I'll probably reduce the ketchup and sugar next time, but we loved the sweet taste of this stew.

This was tasty comfort food, but I'm just not sure I'd bother making it again, as the time is somewhat extensive. I think I'll stick to shredded BBQ beef in the crockpot, it's less involved.

This was alright. Boyfriend said he liked it but never touched the leftovers. I didn't think it was bad, but didn't really care for it either. Looked pretty bad, tasted okay.
