Same as mom's. Make sure to brown the beef in batches and add oil as you need to. Also, add the flour left overs just after the onion is soft and that will thicken it up nicely

AWESOME! This is a very traditional, stick to your ribs kind of stew! Stayed true to the recipe. I did end up using less broth, so that the consistency could be what I wanted without needing the cornstarch. Cooked in a slow cooker for 6 hours on low. It was totally delicious. My husband loved it and said, "make this again". This also would be easy to freeze. Thank METAXA313 for this wonderful recipe! YUM!

Love this one! I use fresh herbs from my garden rather than the dried and I use fresh sliced mushrooms instead of peas. It is by far the best, heartiest beef stew I've ever made. Bravo!

Husband thought it was great. I thought it was horrible. Settling for a three star, the in between for us. The thyme was overpowering.

I'm a college student living with three other guys and four girls. Between classes and work, we barely have time to cook good meals. But this stew is easy to make, it doesn't take too long, and it's always a hit! I usually double the recipe and add a pound of bacon coated in brown sugar. It does our family well. Thanks Ted, whoever you may be.

This recipe was interesting and tasty. When we saw the picture i thought that my children wouldn't like it but. It turned out great and lasted a long time. It was great proportion for your family to reheat.

It was both easy to prepare and a excellent stew. I did substitute venison for the beef since deer season had been kind to me. Since I have no small kids I also added a bit of Worstchestire and Texas Pete, to taste. I also didn't have any frozen peas but found a regular can of baby peas works well.
