Rosemary really adds an excellent flavor and I love the consistency of this stew. I'm not a big fan of soupy stews, so I love this recipe!

This was flavorful and delicious! I made the additions that Chuck suggested. Flouring and seasoning the beef first and later adding the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce with the liquids. The only other change I made is a couple of bay leaves. My favorite bite is the very last with all the broth, pieces of veggies and flavorful goodness!

Very tasty and easy to make. I just made one change; instead of using bouillon cubes and water, I used 4 cups of low-sodium beef broth. Still worked!

I thought this was very good and easy to put together.

A wonderful recipe! I did do some altering according to my family's taste. I added double the veggies and added extra meat. I also used 1 can of beef broth in place of the water. For a thicker "stew-like" broth I tripled the cornstarch. Even the pickiest family members loved it!

I am culinarliy challenged but wanted to try some new recipes for my family. This recipe was great!!! I did not use the bullion cubes though I used an organic beef broth.( less saltier) I also took other users advice and rolled my beef in flour and garlic powder. Also I added frozen broccoli to the stew in the last 20 minutes. For a thicker stew I used 5 tsps of cornstarch and water. Will definitely make again.

my kids love this stew so much, i've been making it several times. The only modification i make is that i dont use oil,i just put a little bit of water to cook it since the beef has oil on its own already.

This is a great and easy to make recipe, my husband LOVED it! It didn't make as much as I had hoped so I doubled the recipe and tripled the amount of cornstarch because we like our stew thicker than it was with the amount called for. Other than that, we just omitted the onions and loved it!

really liked it! Made it once without changes and it was very good! Second time i made it I added a can of beer and it came out wonderful! goes great with fresh beer bread

Since I made a couple of changes I rated the actual recipe a 4. I did not have beef boullion so I used a can of beef broth (that's all I had) and then added a package of onion soup mix and 1-1/2 cups water. My family really enjoyed this one which surprised me because they are used to eating Hawaiian style stew which uses a tomato base with some added ginger. The next time I'll try the recipe as printed.

Very, very good! I used 3.25 C beef stock and 0.75 C red wine instead of the water/bullion combination. I, like many others, used extra cornstarch. I will absolutely make it again

Good! Definitely take time to coat the meat in flour before you brown. I added a bay leaf, a bit of cumin, tomato paste and worchestershire.

This stew was good, nothing special. I added corn and extra onions.

This stew was extremely good. I did saute some shallots in with the meat when I browned it, and added some garlic salt to the flour before browning the meat. I also added a cubed turnip for extra contrast. The flavors really are spectacular.

This recipe is excellent. The meat comes out very tender, and the veggies are perfectly done (not hard, not mushy). I took the advice of another review the first time I made it and added some red wine, but found it was a little overpowering. Since then, I have found that it tastes much more like a traditional beef stew with the water alone, though I do add a little garlic and onion powder which I would highly recommend trying. Less is more with this recipe. It's almost perfect just the way it is. Thanks so much for sharing it!

This was a good basic stew. I used beef stock rather than bouillon cubes & fresh rosemary instead of dried. I didn't realize I was out of carrots until I was done browning all of the beef & not wanting to go to the store, I just left them out. I'll buy some to add to the leftovers because beef stew really should have carrots, according to my Gramma. Thanks for the recipe:o)
