I don't know if the browning sauce is the key ingredient to stew or what, but this is the first time I've made stew and had it turn out really well! I used fresh carrots and potatoes (left out the peas), garlic powder and had to add another cup of water right at the beginning. I used less salt and more bouillon cubes. We ate this over rice tonight and are looking forward to the leftovers, this made enough to feed at least 6! This recipe is a keeper :o)

So delicious! I used fresh and frozen veggies because I didn't have any canned~ I boiled them in vegetable broth until tender and then threw them in the skillet with the steak. I served it over barley along side kale. We ate every last drop. Dipping bread is a must! Tossing the cubed steak in flour gives it a rich gravy that we can't resist.

Great flavor my whole family loved it! Served it over rice was great with it!

This was easy, good and comforting, not to mention inexpensive. I used fresh potatoes and frozen peas and carrots, added about 1/2 c. of tomato paste, a little balsamic vinegar, some fresh minced garlic (which I added with the beef and onions) and a little cayenne. I also increased the liquid, about 2 c. of broth and 2 c. of water. Thank you Joyce!

I liked the stew the first night, but it doesn't make very good left overs.

Easy, quick, tasty. I didn't have browning sauce, otherwise I followed recipe exactly. Will definitely make again. Just add rolls or bread and you have a hearty meal. Thanks a bunch!

Really good recipe. It is easy to change up. I used fresh carrotts and mushrooms. I also cooked my potatoes on the side.

this was a great starting point for making cube steak stew. my husband absolutely hates chicken fried steak and i was looking for a nice way to fix cube steaks. i sauteed onions, sliced portobello mushrooms, garlic, and sliced baby carrots in some butter and olive oil. i coated the cut up cube steak in whole wheat flour and sauteed until browned. i added some chicken stock, half and half and recommended seasonings. cooked until nice and thick. i would like to add the browning sauce just for some nice color but not necessary. we arent a fan of canned vegetables, but this recipe is definitely a keeper with some modifications. thanks for sharing!

Very good stew! Quick and easy to make.

THE MEAL WAS GREAT. WE HAVE MADE IT TWICE AND LOVED IT BOTH TIMES.

This recipe was simple, not time consuming at all and was very good! It was a complete meal in itself!

My husband LOVED this stew. SO easy to make. I omitted the potatos and added mushrooms and doubled the amount of carrots and peas. I also melted a slice of swiss cheese on the top of each individual bowl. It was fabulous, he requested it again already!!

This was to salty

Although it was pretty good, it definitely tasted better the second day! I used only 1/2 tsp. each of salt and pepper.

This recipe was even better the next day! Thank you Joyce for submitting this fast and easy cold weather comfort food. The only things I did different was I added a can of tomato paste to it. Also, I didn't have any browning sauce but it seemed to taste fine without it. I also didn't have any premade Italian seasoning on hand so I just added Italian-type seasonings to it. This recipe was so easy to tweak and still come out really good. Thanks again.

Good recipe. Made little variation by using 2-16 oz cans of vegetable soup in lieu of the vegetable listed in the recipe. Served this with crusty bread and a salad for dinner. Very quick and easy dinner to prepare on a busy day.

I added diced fresh carrots, and nearly tripled the water. It was still thick and delicious. the recipe mentions carrots in the text, but not in the ingredient list. It was tasty, easy, and my kids ate the vegetables.
