I made this recipe a bunch of times and I have tweaked it on occasion only by adding veggies. I have to say this recipe is awesome great every time. If you gave it a bad rating really learn how to cook. Seriously because this is a top notch version of a great classic thank you Tyler keep'em rolling.

This was a disappointment. The wine was too acidic for me. Adding a tablespoon of sugar helped but it still had a acidic taste. The vegetables being added in the last 30 minutes was not enough time for them to cook. After 30 minutes, my veggies were still raw. Tyler's Ultimate recipes are usually fantastic. This one just did not work for me.

I made this stew and sent a container to my boyfriend's administrative assistant (a "mature" southern cook- this was a card she sent me "Dear Becky, Thanks so much for The Stew. I can't stop telling my friends about it. My oldest friend, Mrs. King, says that is how Stew should be. Keep up the Good Cooking (smile. Thanks Again, Mrs. James."
I read the reviews first and left out the orange and cloves. Except for the liquids, I cut the recipe in half because I only needed enough for two. We still had leftovers and this thank-you card says it all for me. Thanks for the recipe Mr. Florence!!!

As always, Tyler is right on the mark with this wonderful twist on boring beef stew. The ingredients are perfect exactly the way they are. I only had 2 cups of burgundy on hand, so supplemented the rest with beef stock. I was shocked at reviewers saying to leave out the orange and cloves. Duh. That's what helps to create the fabulous layers of flavor in this dish. I served this with Tyler's Herbed Garlic Bread and it was a sensation. Thank you, Tyler for another incredible recipe that is now a staple at my house!

Loved it, great authentic beef stew recipe. We added a red onion during cooking, and a few slashes of worcestershire sauce.

I found this recipe to be bland. I like Tyler. Mostly, he is pretty right on. Here, not so much. I tossed an ancho in adobo in with the meat, wine etc. phase and was pleasantly rewarded with a more flavorful stew. Also, forget the cloves and use allspice.

This recipe surprised me. Initially, I saw this, went to the grocery store, and came home with the ingredients before I noticed the reviews. Seeing as some/most of this is very similar to Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon, I almost chose to make that instead. However, I'm glad I decided to stick with this.

This stew is a little different, but I did not think it was as bad as people say it is. In fact, I thought it was very delicious. The veggies really draw out the flavors and balance the bitterness of the orange peel and bite of the cloves. I would make this again in a heartbeat. Way to go, Tyler!
