My family loves this stew

"I love this. I added sliced baby bella mushrooms, sliced my garlic thin and added a pinch of red pepper flakes which complemented this dish nicely. Also I used stir fry beef which after seasoning, I coated with flour. It needed only an hour simmer time to get tender. At the end, I thickened the broth with 2 tablespoons of corn starch mixed with a little water. My stomach is still smiling."

Good basic recipe. I dredged the meat in seasoned flour before browning, doubled the onion and garlic, used unpeeled, red potatoes and cut broth down to 4 cups. I put everything in the crockpot and let it go all day. A few minutes before serving, I stirred in a dash of worchestershire sauce, and a cup of frozen peas.

I enjoyed this immensely. I like the idea of blending some of the vegetables to make it thicker.

Very nice. I added some red wine and some thyme into the stock for added flavour and it was a big hit.

The flavor was ok, it didn't turn out like I thought it would. It smelled like a Chinese or stir fry dish, won't make again

Great recipe! I used home made stock and added bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Wonderful with home made bread too :)

I have made this stew several times now. I added a little tomato paste and substituted the celery for cabbage since I have members of the family who are allergic to celery. It is very yummy! My kids love it too!

Good stew, but It's missing something and I can't put my finger on it.

Since I don't own a crock pot yet (yes, I am the only one on earth I think), this was a great recipe idea for on the stove. I made a few alterations, as I don't measure my veggies so well, but it came out amazing! Thank you for sharing. This was delicious.

Good basic stew recipe, however not being a seasoned chef I had to search on how to make a 'rue' might want to add that into your recipe for those of us who are not that experienced.

Good stew recipe. However, I used Deer tenderloin with extra carrots & celery. I didn't feed any to the dog cause it made more for me that way.
