Delicious !!!
Kathleen Vaughan
Very flavorful. My husband and I both liked it. I made my own Greek seasoning.
Dustin Smith
Subbed ground beef, still tasty
Mike Larson
This was excellent! We really loved it! I didn’t change a thing. The layers of flavor are really yummy. Will make again and again.

I was looking for a “lighter” beef stew, and this did not disappoint. I used a chuck roast that I cut up into cubes. The flavor was really good, the meat was super tender, and it was tasty and filling.
Kelly Smith
Loved this! Used a diced up chuck roast instead of stew meat and a whole head of cabbage. Otherwise followed as written. Flavorful and healthy!
Erik Clayton
Omitted onion and also subbed Italian seasoning for Greek. A bit bland, though we did enjoy it. Needs a shot of curry powder; there’s a little something missing. If I make again, I will add some. I put curry in my cabbage rolls, so it will work in this dish, I’m sure.

I have made this atleast 3 times in 2 months time. No changes
Elizabeth Williams
Loved this recipe! I had no stew meat so I used ground beef and it was delicious! I also added garbanzo beans.

I’ve made this at least a dozen times and it’s been such a hit that I’ve been asked for the recipe several times. I made a few substitutions to make a bigger batch (I like to freeze leftovers). I usually use 3 lbs of stew meat and cut them into even smaller dice-sized pieces. I use roughly 48 oz of chicken broth. Depending on the size of beef bullion cubes i use more (if tiny at least 3). I also use a fresh head of cabbage that I cut into bite size pieces. And lastly, instead of plum tomatoes I use a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes. This may be my absolute favorite thing to make 🙂

Good flavors, easy to make meal!
Jaclyn Gordon
Very good. I double the seasoning and broth/bullion.
David Mcconnell
This is delicious! Added some 21 season salute from trader Joe’s. Will definitely make again!

We live in a small town. Most of the time the price of steak is spendy. I used 1 Pound of 93%-7% lean burger instead of steak. Everything else it the same. Yummy
Brooke Johnson
Delicious
Kevin Webb
Turned out great! I probably simmered it too high and lost too much broth, had to add some broth when I added the cabbage. Still came out very good! Just wish it didn’t take SO LONG to make! But I will make it again
Tina Jones
I started this recipe by making my own Greek seasoning using the seasoning recipe I found in this app. Yummy! I then doubled the stew recipe and used fire roasted tomatoes rather than plum. I cooked in a cast iron Dutch oven and my cooking times were a little shorter. I had unexpected visitors while it cooked, and they thought it was delicious! The broth is quite flavorful and it makes a hearty meal.

Great on a cold evening! I didn’t have Geek Seasoning in the house so I used Allrecipes recipe and made it. Since I only had a 32oz container of chicken broth I used all of it and made a soup instead of a stew. This was delicious! Meat was little tough but that one is my bad, I used an oblong pan not a stock pot, didn’t simmer evenly so the meat wasn’t as tender as it should have been. Flavor was great though!!
Ronald Dixon
Simple easy and delicious,
Natalie Gill
This made a fantastic stew. I had to add a lot more water (and so also bouillon) than the 1.33 cups listed for 2 pounds of meat. I ended up using 5 cups to barely cover everything.
Stephanie Davis
Turned out awesome! I used a 16oz package of shredded cabbage and a 15oz can of diced tomatoes and it was great!
