I was so excited to try this receipe. I followed it exactly, and used the best wine '' Cabenet Sauvigon '' but the family was disappointed we did not like it. The wine left a overwhelming taste, and thats all you could taste. Could not eat the leftovers either the next day sorry Ida.....

We made this tonight and it was wonderful!! We tweaked the directions alittle bit. We drained the meat extra well by doing a single layer of meat then a papertowel and repeated this until all the meat was drained. We cooked it at 275 for 3 1/2 hours, stirring it each hour. It came our delicious. Thanks Ina for another great recipe.

Loved this recipe as did my whole family. Of course I did re-do the recipe a little since I didn't have a couple of items that were listed. First of all after reading many reviews that said didn't need to marinate the beef all night, I just marinated it for a few hours and I think that was plenty. (By the way, to save time , I cut up the celery, carrots, and onions the night before.
Used beef stock instead of chicken stock. Used dried rosemary (about 1/2 tsp. Added celery because for some reason I thought it was in the list of ingredients. Left out sun dried tomatoes because the Super Target store I went to didn't have any !!!! . Cooked in the oven for 2 and 1/2 hrs. Served it over jasmine rice. Ummmmmm good. The meat was very tender and the veg's were not overcooked. I highly recommend this recipe (as I usually do when it comes to one of Ina's..

I made this a few times. I did not marinate in wine this time. I added beef broth instead of the wine when it called for 2-1/2 cups of reserved marinade. I still added the remainder of 2 cups of beef broth to the sauce. I also omitted the potatoes and served this over mashed potatoes. It was OUTSTANDING!!!!!! I liked it better without the wine. My husband said it was the best meal I ever made!

This was possibly the best meal I have ever had or made and it was so easy. I loved it! I used burgundy wine for fuller flavor. I was perplexed as to why Ina chose chicken stock as opposed to beef stock? That did not make any sense to me but I DID use the chicken stock as instructed and it was delicious. This is a true winner. Thanks Ina!!!

ok what did I do wrong? I followed the instructions to dredge in flour and brown. When I looked at the finished produt the flour coating came of and was a mess in the stew. It looked nasty and tasted like like glue.

I loved this, the sun dried tomatoes added a rich flavor and are something I wouldn't have thought of adding. Makes plenty for another meal, too!

This is delicious! This was the first time my husband and I cooked with red wine and included mushrooms in any dish. I had a mental block with mushrooms for some reason. We have really grown in our culinary skills since watching you Ina. Thank you for "turning up the volume" on beef stew!
