The wine and sundried tomatos make this beef stew very rich. I used oil packed sundried tomatoes and doubled the garlic. The wine I used was a very fruity, $15 California Syrah. I also added a little of the sundried tomato oil to the pot. It was perfect! Leftovers quickly disappeared the next day. Be sure to have some crusty bread on hand to wipe your bowl clean.

Really terrific flavor. I used a California cabernet for the marinade. The only thing I would change is to use less flour next time; made my sauce a little too thick.

This Beef Stew with the Merlow Wine marinade was the biggest hit with my friends who can't believe it was so easy.
Comfort food at its best with crusty bread

The stew was very flavorful and absolutely delicious. This was the best stew I have ever had. We couldn't get enough and will definitely be making this again.

I enjoy the Barefoot Contessa very much so I tried Parker's Beef Stew. It has such a heavy wine taste after cooking it 3 hours that we would not eat it. Everything was very tender but the taste was terrible. I followed the receipe to the inth degree.
Thank you,
Lillian Thompson

This was my first recipe from Ina. Everyone in the family absolutely loved it. Even my picky son had seconds.

I am in college and I don't have a dutch oven, so I just simmered the whole thing on the stove for two hours instead. At first it was pretty liquid, but after sitting a bit it thickened right up. Pretty great flavor! I put some new bay leaves in the pot to simmer and add extra flavor!! Made my apartment smell homey!

I just tasted mine when I stirred it after the first hour and I think it's great! Prepared it almost according to the recipe, left out the tomatoes and the mushrooms.

But not amazing. I love Ina. This was bad, but wasn't as excellent as her meals typically are. Definitely not for folks that don't like wine. I used a Coppola Rosso blend, which worked well. I think Ina used a Cabarnet.
