“The wife and I agree that this was probably the best beef stew we have had and we love beef stew this time of year with the cold fall and winter weather. I followed the recipe pretty much except for a couple additions. I added some ground pepper (to taste) in” — a cook, 5.0★
“OMG! I died and went to heaven. This was the best stew I have ever made. I did not use the crock post but simmered it on the stove for 4 1/2 hrs. The beef cubes just melted in your mouth. I took it easy on the wine, only about 1/2 cup and used more beef broth.” — a cook, 5.0★
