    Considering how long to complete this receipe, the flavor is not all that great. I rather cook Rachael Ray's Beef Burgandy which is similar taste and cook in 30 minutes. THat has much flavor to it and easy and makes similar dish. Which doyou choose to cook if taste was kinds of similar?

    NEVER HAS MY FAMILY ENJOYED ANY KIND OF A STEW AS MUCH AS THIS ONE. I TOOK THE TIME TO BUY A BEAUTIFUL SHOULDER STEAK AND CUT IT MYSELF. THAT MUST OF HELPED. AND I REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF LIQUID BECAUSE MY PAN WAS VERY WIDE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A KEEPER.

    I did the marinade and changed the ingredients up a bit, but it still came out awesome. I had so much fun doing it.

    The beef was tender and moist but the broth left something to be desired. I think it was too fruity for me between the wine and the orange peel in the marinade.

    I LOVED THE BIG CHUNKS OF THE TENDEREST MEAT I EVER ATE. THE IDEA OF SERVING THE STEW WITH MASHED POTATOES INSTEAD OF COOKING CHUNKS OF POTATOE IN THE STEW WAS ELEGANT. THE GRAVY WAS VERY RICH AND THE SPICES WERE DELECATE.
    THIS DISH IS A KEEPER !!!!!

    Great stew, though not as stellar as some of Tyler's other creations. For the red wine beef stew, I prefer Julia Child's beef burgundy. For a non-wine version, I actually prefer the beef stew on "How to Boil Water."

    This stew is by far the best I have ever made and my family loved it. It takes a little extra work, but is so worth it. The beef is tender and the seasoning is perfect.

    This is a KEEPER! I've tried many "stew" recipes over the years- but, this one is so....savory. I served it over garlic mashed potatoes instead of the croutons-chive thing and was glad I did. Try it-you'll like it!

    I followed this recipe pretty closely to how it was printed. I couldn't find baby red onions so I used white pearl onions. In my opinion, the stew was a little too soupy as the recipe is written, and also the wine taste was quite strong and bitter (the sugar did help a bit. I ended up throwing in 2 beef boullion cubes to get a beefier taste, rather then the burgundy. I also added cubed potatoes instead of serving over mashed potatoes, and some frozen corn. Because it had a soup consistency, I made a roux w/ broth like a previous reviewer suggested, to thicken it up a bit. I'd make this again with less of the wine marinade that is reintroduced later in the recipe, and a more intense beef stock.

    This stew was wonderful. Served it with mashed celery root/potatoes. Celery root is a super way to add some different flavor to the meal. It was a lengthy process especially having to wait 4 hours for the marinade but it was worth ever bit. Enjoy!
