I really liked this dish. I think next time, I'm going to take out the onions and reduce the cooking time by 1 hour because the last hour the meat became mushy and I wanted a different texture. Other than that, it was very good.

I dont eat beef so I simply swaped all the beef for chicken, including the stock. It was fantastic. So simple and most of the ingrediants I keep on hand. Add a nice italian loaf and thi meal will be a true hit!

What is wrong with you people? I noticed that every single person who gave this recipe a low scoring review, had somehow modified or changed it to what they thought would make it better - and then had the nerve to blame Emeril when it turned out disappointing! One guy even complained about what to do with the carrots left over after only using 1 cup. If you're trying to economize, then only buy 1 carrot or 2 carrots or whatever! Get a brain and stop insulting others based on your own ignorance.
Now then, I'm reviewing the recipe not the reviews. LOL
Simple, straightforward, even fun to prep. The end results - positively scrumptious. I even made it again 4 days later. If you follow the recipe and stick with the ingredients and instructions you should have an outstanding result just like I did.
Thank you Emeril. Awesome beef stew recipe. I loved it.

OMG!! I decided to put this over the fire in a stew pot over the course of the day while everyone played, fished and such. Never had to do a thing, and when it came time to dinner it was ready, I doubled the whole recipe as we had alot of people, served it up with some rolls and everyone LOVED it, and it was so simple!! Who would've thought you could make such a tasty meal while camping. It was nice to have a changed from the normal hotdogs and hamburgers!! Thanks, Emeril, again for such a tasty and amazingly easy meal!!!

I am truly impressed with how delicious and simple this recipe is. I didn't have rosemary or allspice on hand; so, I used ground cardamon in their place. WOW! so good! My son loved it, too.

First I have to say that I am NOT a beef stew fan. I made this for my hubby because he is a meat lovin' guy who lives with a chicken lovin' girl! Most beef stews that I have had are bland with mushy veggies and tough meat. This stew was NOTHING like any stew I have ever tasted. Not only was it delicious, but it was so easy. I made this over the weekend and let it simmer all day in the crock pot while we were home. It smelled amazing and clean up was a breeze.
Two changes I did make was I added more tomato paste and I added celery. The recipe only called for 2 Tablespoons and I started with that. After it cooked for a few hours I felt like it needed more so I added another 2 tablespoons. Turned out great and the leftovers the next day were even better.

This was really a great dish, and surprisenly easy. I seared the meat the morning of and threw it along w/ everything else in the crockpot, got home from work and "wallah" dinner was ready!! I've got 3 young boys and a husband with a healthy appetite; all were very satisfied and enjoyed the stew completely. I added some crushed red pepper because we like the spice and followed the advise of others for the consistancy. Loved it, will definitely make it again!!

This recipe made a really delicious stew. I substituted venison for beef. As directed, I think the stew would be a little thin, so I dredged the venison in a mixture of flour and seasonings before searing. Also, searing the meat the night before makes things a lot easier (and less messy in the morning. I marinated the seared meat in a cup of dry red wine overnight to make sure it didn't dry out. I still used two tablespoons of flour when I added the ingredients to the slow cooker, but I cut back on the stock by a cup to account for the wine. The consistency was just right, thick, but not too thick. I left out the onions, but only becuase I didn't have them handy and was too lazy to run to the store to get them.
