    It's a good stew but it's also taking me all day to make it.Definately doesn't take just an hour but I love this recipe going to make it more often now that winter is here.

    So I need to learn what I am (we are doing wrong. I've helped to cook this meal at two camping events and once at home. I do not understand what we need to do to help "simmer" the stew down to 1/2 after adding the broth and wine. That is to say we bring the stew to a boil and then turn down the temp to a simmer. But to remove 1/2 of the stew takes at least an hour. The first time we blamed the camping stove. The second time we had a more powerful camping stove and the third time was at home. Each time though it took much longer to simmer off the stew. Should it be at a high boiling point?

    Otherwise I we really enjoy the stew. It's a good one for camping with minimal cleanup.

    Have made this recipe several times. At home, on the trail for non scout events (alcohol and Scouting is a no-no. All have come out great. Hints for those that think this recipe is expensive. Use cheap red wine, non organic Beef Broth and bypass the okre. I use only one medium to large sized onion (make a sweet one!, don't boil down too far (about 20 minutes, used 1/2 the oil/flour mix, add a little salt and pepper and my kids can't eat enough of it. Keeps great for lunches and dinner. Even freezes well and when you reheat from frozen, add about a cup of broth (either beef or chicken and it is better than before. This recipe will stay a staple in my arsenal of easy to make and maximum enjoyment meals.
