I changed the recipe some. I cooked my mushrooms and onions in olive oil separately until soft. I used stew meat and brown it I added red wine vinegar instead of wine ( due to not having wine ). When my meat broth, wine vinegar, and spices came to boil I added my mushrooms and onions, and added some garlic and then simmer it for 1 1/2 hours. Season to taste. I also added a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce up. I thought it was quite yummy.

This was very good, I will make it again
Shannon Savage
Very easy and flavorful! The only change I made was to thicken the sauce more.
Joseph Kemp
Yes

This was excellent! I can’t believe how easy it was to make. I bought the precut stew beef from the grocery store and dredged it in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I browned it like the recipe says and added the liquids. Because my family doesn’t like mushrooms, I substituted baby carrots for the mushrooms. I put them in about an hour before it was finished, and they were very tender. I did end up cooking it longer because I had the time and wanted to make sure that the beef was very tender, which it was. I served it over egg noodles. I will definitely make this again. I’d like to try it in the crockpot as others have suggested.

We used Sirloin tip, it’s a more tender cut, and only two onions. After following the rest of the recipe as suggested we were disappointed only because it came out so ‘runny’ We added more flour to thicken it but it was still very thin. My thinking is that the wine and broth content were too much. Next time I will cut these down to 1 cup each.

This was so good! I was out of red wine so used white. I’ll definitely make it again with red wine. I think the added richness will make it really amazing. Served it over bowtie pasta. YUM!
Donna Oliver
Sooooo yummy and satisfying, wow. I used stew beef, omitted the salt, and only added one onion. Absolutely scrumptious, and perfect for a cold winter day.
Steven Curtis
Added garlic, bay leaves and a tbs of Worcester sauce and extra beef boullion powder to make the flavor pop. I only needed one large onion. Made equal parts burgundy and beef stock and thickened liquid with a flour and water mixture at the end. Served over rice and had rave reviews. No need to waste the rice; stirred the leftover rice into the stew and had wonderful microwave leftovers the next day.

I used top sirloin which I cut while still partially frozen…cooked in a slow cooker for about 8 hours on low….tender and flavorful…stayed moist…I added the mushrooms after I took it from the slow cooker, while it was still bubbling….worked out fine….
Michelle Rice
It was really good. I ended up adding a little more wine because I reduced my stock too much. It wasn’t soupy at all. Just reduce it to the consistency you want. The more your reduce it, the more flavor you’ll get.
Tanya Gutierrez
My kids loved this. It was pretty soupy so I reduced it a bit more than directed. I also added some brocolli to it. We served it over rice.

I LOVE this recipe. I changed a few things, but not much. I coat the beef pieces IN the flour before dropping them into the pan. I hate how the flour clumps up when you just sprinkle it over. But other than that, do it all the same. If the sauce is too thin when it comes time to serve, then I do sprinkle in a bit of flour and it works like a charm. We serve it over wide egg noodles with hot rolls to soak up any remaining juice. Its so good! Enjoy!
Donna Kennedy
This was wonderful. I made it just as the recipes except my roast was frozen and so I just threw everything in the crock pot and let it cook all day while I was at work. I used Merlot and the flavor was beyond anything we imagined. Everyone loved it and it was so simple.

I actually made a couple tweaks to the recipe. I definitely use all of the ingredients listed (except for the olive oil — explanation below), and actually taste throughout to determine my preference, which I highly recommend, but here are my secrets (my recipe is definitely a 5-star recipe). Use better meat than round steak. Cut up a filet, a NY Strip, a Ribeye, etc., into smaller squares. The first thing I do in making the burgundy is to cut up small pieces of bacon and cook them in a sauce pan. Instead of using olive oil, I use the bacon to cook everything in. Instead of noodles, I cut up redskin potatos, baste with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and bake to a golden crip. I then put the meat over the potatoes, which is much better than noodles. Use garlic cloves, and beef buillion to make the sauce, in addition to the above. Enjoy this.

Carrots, cut the same size as the beef..1 lb worked with marjoram. 1/2 lb of chopped bacon will give the glaze and opl to brown the beef…. tons of flavor I added 3/4 cup of Conac and flamed it off For a super rich flavor added 10 juniper berrys crushed.. worked with bay leaf and thyme better This is as close to the real french classic prep
Linda Romero
This recipe was awesome! I followed the recipe and cooked it for 1 1/2 hours. Then I put the meat and sauce into a casserole dish and put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 5 hours and the meat was extremely tender and the sauce thickened up nicely. If you are looking for a slow cooking method, this is it. We will have this again.
Joan Andrews
We loved this recipe. I chose to add some brown sugar to our recipe. For us left overs turned out to be so much better.
Lynn Adams
I made this in a crockpot without browning first and it was excellent. I like to make extra to freeze so I used 3lbs of cut up cubes of Chuck that I got at COST** (The big warehouse store) Their meat is always tender, I did 1.5x the recipe, and used mushroom soup mix because I didn’t have mushrooms, and dry beef gravy mix w/only 1c water. (not the recommended 2c broth)because the beef makes liquid while cooking, and the reduction of the 1c. made it thicker which I liked. Excellent recipe
Scott Irwin
Excellent Rich Flavor. Easy to prepare. I followed the recipe using a Cabernet Savignon and made the following changes. 1. only used one onion (thats all i had on hand, but thats all you need) 2. I used 1 jar of siliced shitake mushrooms(also all I had on hand). 3. I did add about 3 tsp of minced garlic during the browning as others suggested. 4. added 1/2 tsp of bay leaves and doubled the black pepper. I served this over egg noodles and it got rave reviews. The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is it is a really soupy finished product and i even tried to thicken it w/ addt’l flour. but the flavor alone makes this a definite keeper and I will just work on reducing the liquid more next time. Oh, I also used cheap, cubed stew meat, and it was fork tender, and very very good. I did do the stovetop simmer as written in the recipe, but I can see how this would be a very easy transistion into a slow cooker recipe. Thanks for a easy and tasty recipe Faith!
Jennifer Morris
This had good flavor, I just used 2 onions and it was plenty oniony. Lots of broth. I cooked the beef in the wine and broth and added some baby carrots, in the oven in a covered cast iron pot for 1 1/2 hrs at 275. Beef was fork tender. I served it over noodles, delish. I had so much left over I made a beef pot pie with the leftovers. I used a prepared pie crust, added a lb. of frozen vegetables and 2 diced cooked potatoes. Great, versatile recipe. Mushrooms and burgundy added a nice flavor to the pot pie.
