“Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I'd planned on making beef barley soup, and discovered I was out of barley, and at the last minute, I switched my plans to beef stew. After scrolling through MANY recipes, I came across yours .. and so glad I did. Abs” — a cook, 5★
“This a perfect simple recipe, especially if you don't have red wine on hand. I simmered stove top, which is just my preference but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. It is delish, and I will def make this again” — a cook, 5★
