valentinabodurova ,Good recipe but needed a little more time than stated to complete everything to a good standard. Beef needs more time to get softer.6y
mogman1 ,I added some butter and flour at the end to thicken it up. Simple, but very good!7y
acemech ,Was a good recipe but was slightly disappointed at how it got way too thick with the blender step.7y
gramsy1 ,Easy to make, need to doctor the flavor a little and add something to it to thicken it. My potatoes ended up all mushed up at the bottom of my pot, almost like mashed potatoes.7y
karilindeman ,The recipe as is comes out like soup. We put ours in a crockpot and let it go all day. We mixed a LOT of rue to make it stew-thick. I added plenty of spices to flour before coating the meat for added flavor and I always do more garlic than called for because that small amount gets lost in the rest of it otherwise. After we thickened it up, it was pretty good! Since there was already veggies in it, we just used dollar buns to dip.7y
christina_tw ,I make it all the time now! Since my family is not big on celery though I substitute it for cabbage... delicious!8y
waltcranston ,Sorry. This is not stew, it's soup. Because you're missing a thickener. The meat should be coated with flour then sear it. Mix a tsp more of flour to some broth then add that to the mix. Now you'll have beef stew with a nice thick hearty texture!8y
lennie7 ,love it. so quick and easy to make. added a bit of cinnamon and red wine to the meat when browning it. delicious!!!8y
jackiechan042003 ,Very yummy stew! I did however change it a bit. I added some rosemary and parsley, and instead of making a rue (because I felt lazy) I used one packet of Knorr brown gravy with one cup of water.10y
aesg ,I floured the beef, added rosemary, thyme, fresh parsley, bay leaf, & Worcestershire sauce, a few tomatoes and used half the water. I put dumplings on the top.10y
sandybrown1956 ,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.11y
pintomcguinness ,Very nice. I added some red wine and some thyme into the stock for added flavour and it was a big hit.11y
mdlebou ,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 again11y
missamyjxoxo ,Great recipe! I used home made stock and added bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Wonderful with home made bread too :)11y
christina_tw ,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!11y
