My first stew and it turned out great. I didn't have those little onions. I divided my big onion into little chunks. I didn't have white mushrooms. I used other kinds instead. It was a delicious meal and I will be making it again.

I was captivated by this recipe from the first time I read it (didn't see the show, so was egar to try it. There are a lot of steps, so you want to try this when you know you have time. That said, the end result is well worth the effort.

Don't be daunted by reviews that say there are too many spices. I agree with Jessica that the idea here is to take something ordinary, and make it extraordinary, and Tyler has certainly done that here. The flavor combination is amazing, I would never have thought to add orange zest to a beef dish, but so glad I tried it. I would add that while I like the orange undertone, I think I'll cut the zest by half the next time. I used zest from the whole orange and found it to be too much, but agree that it adds something wonderful to the dish.

Lastly, I think that this stew will make a great base for a shepherd's pie or individual pot pies as well... lots of possibilities...!

Thanks Tyler!

Loved this... I cut the wine back a bit and added a little more beef stock. Subbed the pearl onions for chopped yellow onion. I also left out the potatoes and served it over mashed potatoes. It was a huge hit! This is a favorite at our house...

Absolutely delicious. I did follow the advice of others and cut the wine back to a cup and a half and added a bit more beef stock. I also cut the amount of cloves in half as I am not a fan of the strong taste of cloves, and it was perfect. The meat melted in your mouth. Plus the whole house smelled delightful!

DEFINITELY an amazing recipe. Flavors are really rich. The meat comes out so tender. At first i was worried that the cloves would be too strong but by the end of the cooking time you could just barely smell it but the flavor was there. Just right. I personally liked the orange/cloves. I think it gave it a different yet amazing flavor. That's why it's the ultimate.

The only reason I didn't give it Five stars is because I did tweak the recipe a bit after reading the reviews.
* I used a cup of Cabernet wine instead of a whole bottle and I put like 6 cups of beef broth and a little extra water since I wanted to have enough liquid to soften the veggies.

*The horseradish sauce is the PERFECT addition to take the recipe to the top.

THIS WAS TERRIBLE!!!!!!! I have had many stews over the years and this is by far the worst I have ever come across!!...No matter what type of stew you make a bottle of wine " whether it be Burgundy or not isn't necessary!! " just a cup of wine is fine.."TOPS" ...and in conclusion to my complaining I spent $100.00 on this, and I mine as well rolled the window down in my vehicle and threw it out! at least the money would of went to better use!

incredible. just wasn't sure about the orange zest strips. so i just zested approx 3-inch strip worth of orange. the sour cream/hosreradish "topper" was a wonderful touch. YUM! definitely on the saved list for the long winter.
