Yuuuuuummm. Such a nice change from a typical beef stew. I added half a can of Goya black beans... this added a great different texture to the soup. I served it with rice and sweet plantains. This is definitely a "wow" recipe worthy of company. I plan on freezing all of my leftovers for a special treat on a rainy day!

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. My family loved this meal. I made enough so there would be leftovers, but my kids liked it so much, there was only enough left for one more serving! Changes I made: no raisins; substituted apple cider for the wine vinegar. We served it with optional side dishes of: white rice, salad, and sour dough bread. All sides went really well with the meal. My husband said that he really enjoyed the blend of spices and how they came together in the flavoring. For a change of pace, next time I will be serving it in small sourdough bread bowls and omitting the rice, as the sourdough really complements the meal.

This is an awesome stew! Like some other reviewers, I cooked it in a slow cooker. I served it along with French bread.

Very easy and satisfying. Unfortunately, I didn't have any sherry, so I substituted beef broth. The flavor was nice, but I'm sure it would have been better with the wine... will have to make it again sometime as written. Good recipe, though - thanks!

Great recipe. We really enjoyed this. Browned the beef first then added onions etc. Used 2 1/2 cups water to cover the beef and added 1 Knorr beef boullion cube.

This is what beef stew should taste like! I used chuck roast and omitted olives and capers, it's still good. Instead of sherry, I used Madeira. I also used a whole 15 oz can tomato sauce.

I didn't add the Sherry and I used Crushed Tomatoes instead of Tomato Sauce. I also added 2 cups of fresh sliced mushrooms and half a jar of Salsa. I wanted to make enough for a few nights so I added two cans of drained Black Beans and two cups of Beef Broth. My wife told me to add this recipe to her list of favorites.

I personally thought this was on the best meals I have ever made. By hubby of 13 years didn't think it was the best ever but he did enjoy it!LOL I made just a few changes because of what I had on hand. I subbed just a dry red whine, and balsamic vinegar, dried Italian seasoning and no bay leaf, yellow bell pepper and no capers. No potatoes, so I served it over yellow rice. I almost left out the raisins but decided to put them in. IT WAS AMAZING!!! The 4 year old I was babysitting asked for 3rds! There really wasn't any left over. Will be making again for sure!! Thanks!!!

Nice recipe. To shorten the cooking time, I just pressure cooked the meat for about 35 mins on low heat. Also didn't have any sherry so replaced it with redo cooking wine. The stew was delicious and the meat very tender.

Exactly what I craved. Excellent! I love the tangy taste. Used golden and regular raisins, did not have sherry, so I used white wine, served on top of red potatoes...YUM! Thanks for the recipe!

Oh, my, my, my, my, my! Or should I say, que bueno! My hubby LOVED this dish, giving it an off the charts "10"! Tweaks: I made exactly as directed except used beef broth instead of water, did not add potatoes, served with mashed (thanks previous reviewer), and added a tablespoon of cornstarch with beef broth at the end for a lovely gravy. AH, the sweet, the savory, very well done, indeed. Will be a winter classic in this home!

This was great! I used stew beef and floured it before browning. Also substitued golden raisins for the regular, used beef brother rather than water and used a full cup of sherry rather than the 1/2 cup. My husband and I loved it, only problem was for some reason my kids wouldn't eat it...their loss!

Great recipe! I used the suggestions and used beef broth instead of water and red pepper flakes. It took a bit long to the get potatoes tender. I used two small potatoes, one carrot, and japanese pumpkin for a mixture. I served it over white rice and it was great....my boyfriend raved over it. The flavor of the capers, raisins, and olives were amazing!!

We enjoyed eating this. It's very different to any other beef stew we have tried. It has kind of a sweet & tangy flavour. I left out the potatoes so I could serve it on mashed potato instead of on rice.

Made this today for dinner and it was so good. I didnt have sherry nor red wine vinger so I didnt add it. I did however, add about 3/4 cup of Goya Sofrito to the sauce and it was just perfect. I also added a small can of veggies. I served this over a bed of rice and sweet plantains. Will definetly make this again. Thanks!
