This is a great stew recipe! I did make some changes. I put seasoning salt and garlic powder in the flour before I covered the beef. Instead of 6 cups of water I used 3 cups beef broth and 3 cups water. I didn’t have any fresh vegetables so I used 2 cans of mixed vegetables and 1 can of whole carnal corn. I really like rice so I used 1 whole cup. Every thing else I did just as the recipe said. Tasted Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!

This was ok, but nothing fantastic either. Will keep searching for a good beef stew recipe.

This stew was good, but not fabulous. I guess that there are a couple of things that I would change. I would probably add some red wine to add more depth to the flavors. I would recommend either using a sprig of rosemary or wrapping the herbs in a bouquet garni so that the dried rosemary leaves aren't floating in the soup. But a decent basic recipe.

Great recipe. I didnt change a thing about it. I found it very easy and very tasty. Thanks

This recipe was very good! I made a few changes. I added parsnip, 2 bay leaves. I substituted 1 can of whole kernel corn (undrained) and a can of green beans (drained). I will make this again.

great recipe my family loved it. meat very tender like it should be in stew. Will make this again.

Used canned veggies and this still tasted great!

I thought it was ok........I was hoping that it would have a bit more flavor.

Very good! I added a can of no salt diced tomatoes, cut back some water and added Thyme.

This was great except I would add a little red pepper for a kick!

This stew had a great texture but not much flavor. The meat was incredibly tender but I had to add a lot of seasonings to give it any flavor at all. OK start for a recipe but it needs work.

I tried this with company.It was great. Makes a lot. I’ve made bf. stw. all my life but it was always bland. Spic it up and it's still spicy bland stew. The secret is the rosemary. Unlikely, but you don’t taste it too much and it is a perfect compliment to the stew flavors. Glad there's no celery. Never liked it. Used canned corn and green beans. Added a big onion cut up in chunks. Beef stew without onions is unthinkable! Left out the rice. Made some on the side so people could spoon their stew on top of it. Made this all in the microwave. Not a big timesaver. Browned the meat and pre-cooked the carrots, potatoes and onions before “stewing” it. Cook on high for about 20 mins. Then simmer, covered, on a medium setting for about 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally, to get the meat tender. Gravy was thinner than I like. Stirred in about 3 Tbsp. of cornstarch dissolved in hot water to thicken. Like it dark brown so I added a tsp. more of the browning sauce. Also added about 2 tsp. of Accent (msg) and 1/3 cup of dry sherry. Some folks thought they needed to salt it more. The colorful vegetables make it appetizing looking for ordinary stew. I’ll make my beef stew like this again and again.

A classic favorite of mine and my husband's; he thought it was great, too!!

This is a close call to the classic Beef Stew. It was great my family loved it.

This was pretty good, although not great. My 6 yr old son loved it and asked for seconds. I felt it was a little too thick, but I will tweek it and make it again. Thank you

It took a long time to cook but it was wearth it.
