A very unusual taste for a roast but this was absolutely delicious. I do not think it was too sweet at all; I think the flavors blended beautifully and made the perfect sauce. I was worried that this would be dry without adding any juice or broth but lo and behold -- when the timer was done everything was perfect. My favorite beef stew recipe is Nigella Lawson's Comforting Beef Casserole; however; it takes a bit more work browning all the beef and sauteing the veggies. This recipe, however, is so fast and easy to put together. It's 123 and you're done! Love that! I also believe that it's healthier because it doesn't have all the gooey (albeit yummy buttery sauce etc. I will definitely make this again and again.

This was good, however next time I will probably only add 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I thought it was a little too sweet. I would definitely make this recipe again though with just a little less syrup.
