EXCELLENT. This really is the very very best beef stew I have ever had. I've made it lots of times now - usually double the recipe because the leftovers are even better.

I use Guiness Foreign Extra Stout because it comes in a 4 pack. I'm sure there are plenty of others that would also be good. But then the parsnips make the stew too sweet - so we just swap them for large chopped mushrooms. I also add extra turnips, carrots and onions.

If you're choosing a recipe, THIS is the one!

Oh my goodness, this is the best stew recipe. I added potatoes and mixed veggies along with the carrots and parnip. Instead of cheesy grits I made dumplings. Heaven. My husband loved it. It is going into my permanent recipe file to make during the fall, winter and spring.
PS. Calimama, the rest of the beer found a home in my tummy.
UPDATE 4/6/13: I have made this 3 times and it is as yummy as the first time I made it. This recipe is in my permanent collection.

Delicious! This stew has a great flavor. The Pioneer Woman has changed my opinion of root vegetables. It was so good my husband took the leftovers in his lunch the next day - that never happens! Thank you for such wonderful recipes!

As the previous reviewer wrote....delicious and easy. I love grits but never made them and I only had a box of 'instant' grits, so I used 6 packages. I wasn't sure how this would work but I gave it a shot. Other than that, absolutely 'yummy'. Everyone in my family enjoyed this one! Thank you Ree!!

This was delicious and easy! I used what I had on hand, including a can of Guinness draught, and sliced celery and cremini mushrooms instead of parsnips and turnips. I also used cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the broth. The broth was so delicious to dunk french bread with butter in. The meat was tender after only 1.5 hours cooking in a cast iron dutch oven. This will be my go-to recipe for beef stew!

I loved it. The family loved it. Thank you Ree. You cook with ingredients I know and keep in my kitchen. I will definately make your beef stew again. I wish I could give you more stars.

Delicious! I added 2 pkgs of Swanson's Flavor Boost because it didn't seem to have a stew-y smell. The Flavor Boost was a perfect addition. It also wasn't as thick as it looked on TV, so I added the flour at the end. Although the recipe doesn't specify the type of beef, she recommended Chuck Roast on the show, so that's what I used. It was PERFECT! The meat was very tender and flavorful. This recipe was a hit with my family, and I will definitely make it again.
