Excellent Flavored Beef Stew

This beef stew is very flavorful. Thought it had too much liquid when finished, so I thickened it with cornstarch.
Super delicious!

Even the third day, you won't believe it, my husband and I were eating it and it tasted better with each day. I just made popovers and a fresh salad to go with it each time. I agree, the best stew we have ever tasted.

The herb seasonings are simply delicious but I had difficulty browning all that meat and my stock was thin and kind of greasy. Other than that it is quite good and realtively easy.
best stew I ever tasted!

I added some balsamic vinegar like someone suggested, and I didn't have the spices so just used basil. But everything else was the same. I did add beef broth as well. You can cook this on your stove for about 4-5 hours and use the cheapest toughest stew meat. It will come out tender like butter! My husband can not get enough.
FABULOUS!!!!

I've been searching for the perfect beef stew recipe, and this is it!!! My husband said it's better than his Mom's! I cut the veggies up a bit smaller than suggested, and I added some peas at the end, other than that I didn't alter it one bit - it doesn't need to be altered.
Basic beef stew

This is a decent beef stew, but is pretty plain for all the work you do. The preparation and cooking time is much longer than states in the recipe. The recipe states prep time of 20 minutes and cooking time of 2 hr. 15 min. Prep time of 20 minutes might be possible if you are a really fast cook in a well-organized kitchen - it took me more like 45 minutes. Then the recipe itself has about 25 minutes of sauteeing, 1.5 hrs of stewing meat in oven and 1 hr. of simmering on stovetop - over three hours total. I was up pretty late finishing it.
Awesome beef stew!

I was surprised how tender the beef in this stew came out, and the flavor was fabulous! I used extra veggies, and a full head of mashed garlic instead of 5 cloves of minced. It was so good I wanted to keep eating even though I was full!. I will definitely be making this again!
like mom used to make

Very impressed; this was my first time making beef stew and I can't believe how good it was! Used 5 cups Low Sodium Beef broth and approx 4 cups water, was afraid it would be too watery, but it did thicken up. Added more carrots and more potatoes. It needed them. May consider adding green beans next time. Used balsamic vinegar instead of red wine since that's what I had on hand. Came out unbelievably delicious!
Best Stew ever!

This stew is so great, it's the only stew I've made that has turned out good. I tweaked the recipe a bit but whatever, it's sooo yummy!
Absolutely wonderful!

I didn't think you could actually make beef stew this good at home. Next time, I'm going to try it in the slow cooker instead of the oven. This was so scrumptious and filling. I've always used beef stew mixes, but this is better than any mix I ever found. WOW! You must try this recipe, you won't be sorry, I promise!
Just like Grandpa use to make

This stew if wonderful. I made it in my iron skillet for the first time. I did not have fresh herbs so I just used a pinch of thyme and parsley. I did cut the veggies up smaller and they worked out great. The meat just melts in your mouth and I used really cheap beef. I forgot the vinegar, but still turned out yummy! My family loved it!
Will make it again

It wasn't as good as my grandmother's but that's probably because I didn't use the bay leaves and such, and instead added just a dash of thyme. I also forgot to add balsamic vinegar as a substitute until after we ate. I used 4 cups of beef broth and 6 cups of water. It didn't get as think as I wanted (I love thick stew) so I added corn starch near the end. My fiance felt it needed more beef, which came out very tender, might I add. I will try again, and this time, follow it exactly!

I've made many different beef stew recipes but this one was especially great. I added a little allspice to give it some background flavor. I'll make this one again!

This was the best stew I've made in my entire life. Even the 9 y/o finiky eater ate up with no complaints. My partner requested more onions. I think that they cook down so much he couldn't distinguish them. So next time, I'll include half the onions with the meat and half with the rest of the veggies so he can find them. The oldest daughter loves carrots so I doubled that amount. The oldest son loved the gravy so much he just sopped it up with bread for his second helping. This made more than enough for 5 of us to eat hearty and have leftovers as well as freeze some for another day.

This stew was very easy and the taste was excellent. My grandkids just loved it. Just make a pot of rice and a pan of cornbread and a peach cobbler for dessert and I had 5 happy people at my dinner table.

I was searching for a comfort food recipe like Mom's from the 60's. This is it! Forget the fancy gourmet recipes. Add the Bisquick dumpling recipe off their box and you have the PERFECT beef stew.

This stew is delicious and filling. I used beef stock, but will use less liquid next time as it didn't thicken up much. The recipe makes a huge amount. My only complaint is that it took a lot longer than 20 minutes to prepare; it took almost an hour, but well worth it.

this stew takes little long to be prepared, but once you try it you'll know it's worth it!! I added cabbage to it because I personally love it in my stews, and it was wonderful... a recipe to make over and over again!

I had been looking for a recipe for beef stew that was like my mother's. This recipe is fantastic! I made a few modifications and I used beef broth and my recommendation is to not add any additional salt if you do. I also used half-onions and half-shallots. The beef gets so tender and just falls apart once its all done. Yum!
