Let me preface this by saying I grew up eating inedible beef stew (the meat was so tough, you literally couldn't chew it). So, every time I attempt beef stew, I expect the worst. This time, I got the best. I had some beef sirloin in my freezer from "who knows when?" which I thawed and cut into very small pieces (I have a toddler who was going to eat this). I also diced rather than cubed the potatoes. The carrots were frozen cut carrots. I cut the recipe in half because I have a smaller crockpot. I *may* have forgotten to half the black pepper, but I don't think so - it was a little much - I liked it, but my son thought it was too spicy. The beef was ridiculously tender, the potatoes and carrots were wonderfully soft, and though the sauce came out a little lumpy looking (from the original flour, I think because the flour at the end I made sure to stir like crazy before adding) and so it was an ugly stew, but who cares - it tasted GREAT.
