Reviews
Terrific recipe. Great in cast iron Dutch oven out bush. I change it up every now and then by using varying combo of smoked and hot paprika. Found brown Swiss mushrooms to be ideal. I always cook onions in the oil first to get them slightly caramelised then add beef. Love how the stew thickens up. Make sure you have some nice crusty French bread or damper to mop up at the end!
Excellent, easy beef stew. My husband and I love this stew, even though I must pick the mushrooms out of his. The first time I made it, it stew scorched on the bottom. Now I place it in a low oven for the last 2 1/2 hours.
This was great! I left out celery (didn’t have any), and I used twice as much garlic (warding off vampires), but otherwise followed the recipe. Actually not much prep time, and the long cooking time makes the house smell wonderful!
Mmmm mm mmm! This is the most beautiful tasting stew I’ve ever had! I made this almost exact to recipe (the only thing I added was some fresh herbs I had for a different recipe and didn’t know what else I felt like doing with the extra) and oh my gosh, it was amazing! I highly recommend it! Nite: guys, when you make this remember salt and pepper to taste, that means you can cater the saltiness of it to your own taste buds. I saw another post stating they needed to add more salt and stuff, so I thought it might be helpful to point it out. Also, this stew seems to be designed in a way to where it tastes absolutely delicious on it’s own, or you can use it as a guide for how to flavor it the way you want it. It’s truely a fabulous recipe!
Very bland. Added parley, thyme, and rosemary, as well as salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the stew, and not just the flour mixture.
Made with marinated steak tips. Cut the recipe in half using 1 lb. of beef.
I made this as my first stew ever. It came out really good as far as I’m concerned. Super savory and the meat is so tender. Recipe is really simple… chop some veggies, sear some meat and combine. Done.
My family loved this stew! The meat was very tender and flavorful. We will definitely be making this again!
Excellent vegetable beef stew! Made it mostly to the recipe, but subbed I’m purple cabbage for mushrooms (only bc I didn’t have any). Ready to eat in less than 2 hours after living up to close to high heat for 15 minutes or so to cook the meat faster. I was impressed how well the flavors from the seared meat and veggies went together. I also had to use veggie stock (also didn’t have beef stock), but threw in 2 beef bouillon cubes while it was simmering. This one is going in the Fall/Winter night go-tos!
