good dish and easy

I made this last night and it was very good. The meat came out perfectly and the sauce thickened up nicely without modifying the amount of flour like the other reviewers suggested. I only used one cup of wine which I thought was perfect - I didn't want the flavor to overpower the dish. Some other modifications I would do next time are to add more seasoning - more garlic maybe. Also, I would probably add the potatoes maybe a half hour before the dish is done - I thought they were a bit too mushy.
Simple and excellent

This is the first time I'm making beef stew. I substituted canned tomatoes for real ones, and used pearl onions and a bit more seasoning on the beef - paprika , cayenne, some other stuff. Almost done and its just lovely. Thanks
Wonderful stew!

This stew was wonderful! I added one more Tbsp. of flour to thicken it up a bit more, as I had read in the other reviews. The beef was tender and the flavor was fabulous! Even my 3 year old son loved it and he's the pickiest eater I know!
Everyone loves this dish!

I love soups and stews, especially in the winter time. This stew is to die for! The combination of the red wine with the fresh rosemary is fabulous. I couldn't stop lifting the lid to smell it cooking.

I added an extra carrot and extra potato and two cloves of garlic to the carrots and onion, as other reviewers suggested, added slightly less than 1 3/4 cups of red wine instead of 2 and it came out delicious. I thought that the stew would not be thick enough but it turned out just fine. My boyfriend said it was the best stew he has ever had and couldn't stop saying how good it was!
Yummy!

The stew was very tasty. However, next time I make it, I will probably increase the beef by 1 pound. Also, I used red potatoes (about 6 medium) insted of the russett or yukon potatoes. I didn't think it was too soupy at all!

Want a good beef stew with some class? This is definitely it!! This has to be the BEST beef stew I have ever eaten. Nothing was overcooked in this dish at all! And browning the beef in butter just gives off the most amazing aroma and flavors the beef so well. My family LOVED this stew. I only made two little changes... I added button mushrooms when I added the potatos, and I threw the fresh green beans in when I added the potatos instead of waiting. My 13 yr old daughter doesn't like so much snap to her green beans, although I would have loved it. They are still firm with a little crunch to them when added with the potatos. This stew is absolutely amazing, and my family and I will be having this again many times over.

This Beef Stew was a snap to make and smells incredible when you are making it. I used Smoking Loon Cabernet and Kitchen Basics Beef Stock, The addition of the Green Beans at the end prevents them from turning to mush. I could hardly wait for the stew to finish. I have made plenty of stews before, but this is the BEST I've had in YEARS! I used Vidali Onions (2 small) but if you follow the dirctions perfectly you will not be disappointed.

This stew is amazing. I've made many versions of stew, but this is the only one I will make from now on. The rosemary and red wine give it wonderful depth of flavor. I used tomato puree instead of crushed and doubled the potatoes which thickened it quite a bit. My boyfriend is one picky eater and he said it was the best stew he's ever had!

With the weather getting colder, I had a craving for beef stew. I came upon this recipe and I'm so glad I did. The best my family and I have ever had. I used the amount of wine and broth as the recipe called for but added in a tablespoon or so of cornstarch in at the end to thicken it up some more. I also sauteed 4 cloves of garlic in along with the carrot and onion mixture. Even better the next day for sure. Awesome served with sourdough bread or in bread bowls. Will make this one again and again.

This is a great recipe - just made for starting on a Sunday PM, and finishing on whatever night you like. This is a great "starter" recipe - do it like the book first, and then add your own ingrediants - I added turnips into mine, which came out fine- next, I'll try some baby bella mushrooms.

I added clove of garlic, mushrooms & celery to onion & carrots, and cooked as directed. I also cut back the wine to a little over half a cup and made up for it with extra beef broth. After it cooked down about an hour, I added a couple of tablespoons of Wocestershire sauce. I made in morning, turned off stove after cooking for two house and it was great!!!

I kept reading over the ingredients thinking I added to much liquid. It came out more like a soup and that's after I added three tablespoons of flour mixed with a little water. The flavor was okay. I love cooking with wine but I didn't care for the crushed tomatoes in it. In the end I added lots more salt and pepper and a few dashes of worstershire sauce. Maybe I'll like the leftovers better.

This has got to be the best beef stew recipe ever! My friends actually request this dish on a regular basis for gatherings! I will say I simmer this stew for about an hour or two longer than the recipe calls for because I like my stew THICK. Two hours just isn't enough time...a little soupy. The extra simmer time solves this problem quite nicely! I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves beef stew! You won't be disappointed!

I'm not much of a wine drinker nor do I cook with wine much either, however, this recipe was great. I did alter a few things, I used 2 onions, 3 celery sticks, and 1 box of frozen green peas instead. I browned the meat, cooked the veggies with flour, brought the liquid to a boil,just like the recipe, then put everything in my slow cooker for about 8 hours on low. The beef was so incredibly tender and delicous!

I had to do this recipe with a slow cooker because I needed to head out for a couple hours. It worked out pretty well after the long wait! I did mine without the greens. Next time I think that I'll use a little less wine, but overall the taste was quite different to what I was used to. Pretty good, and pretty easy!

I've made many stews and they all seem to lack something. The green beans added a fresh flavor that filled in the gap. I used 4 tablespoons of flour to thicken and 1 1/4 cups good cabernet. Also added 2 tablespoons of sugar to cut the acidity. I did not peel the potatoes. Whole family liked the recipe and it was pretty to look at as well.

I just made this this week, it was very easy to make with very little effort. And the stew was delicious. The only thing I changed with the recipe was adding more flour to make a thicker consistency, because I like my stews somewhat thick. I made it the night before too, to the let the flavors blend overnight in the fridge. IT was a huge hit with my husband and my children, 1 of whom is very picky, but ate it all up and asked for more.

I made this stew on a rare COLD Houston night, and it was the absolute best stew I've ever had. My kids aren't a fan of beef stew, but the smell in my kitchen had them coming in and out asking when it was going to be ready. I went by the recipe... except I used fresh tomatoes and small red potatoes, and fresh everything for that matter. Used a Shiraz wine that gave it the best color and rich taste I couldn't keep away from the stew pot! Best stew ever!

This is an AMAZING beef stew! In response to other reviews, I used 3 TSP of flour & cut the red wine down to a little more than 1 cup. It cooked down perfectly & had a wonderful thick consistency. And it is RICH RICH RICH!!! So delicious. It will be a favorite at our house for years to come. On a side note, I used Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck" cab sauv for the wine & it worked VERY well. A good tip for those who are working on a budget. ^^

This was my first beef stew and I was really pleased with it. I made it a day ahead for a dinner party, and right after I made it, I thought the wine (I used the cabernet) and the rosemary were a little overwhelming, but after reheating it for the party it was just perfect. I also didn't need to add any water to reheat, since after thickening up it was a good consistency for stew.

For such a simple uncomplicated recipe this sure did deliver excellent results. The beef was tender, all the veggies werent mushy, the broth was divine. Only thing is that its really more of a soup then a stew...if you wanted a thicker broth I would suggest adding more flour. Will make again!!
Outstanding flavor...

...but we didn't care for the "reedy" texture of the rosemary. Will definitely de-stem and chop it for future attempts. My husband is normally indifferent about green beans (if faced with a "take them or leave them" choice, he'd likely leave them). However, he raved about their fresh taste and crunch in this dish. Great recipe!

My first attempt at stew. This was easy and delicious. I like peas in my stew, so I substituted the green beens for about a cup and a half of frozen peas and it was great. You could probably toss in any veggies you like and it would work. The leftovers made for great easy meals later in the week.

This was a real winner in our house. I followed the recipe exactly EXCEPT I had a gorgeous venison tenderloin (about 2.5 pounds) that a neighbor who hunts gave me and I used that instead of beef. I used a Californian wine from Martin Ray Vineyards: Courtney Benham's Lucca Red Table Wine. The wine was great in the recipe and with the final dish. I also added thick slabs of a fancy multi grain bread from the bakery and a mixed herb salad. Yum!

This is such a flavorful stew. The meat becomes very tender. The sauce thickens up very nicely if you cook it for the 2 hours, letting it bubble lightly.

I agree with all the previous reviews. This is a great recipe. My observations: after two hours, it wasn't done. I ended up cooking it for another 90 minutes. My *simmer* may be lower than yours. That's OK. Stew shouldn't be rushed. Also, the additional cooking time took care of the thin sauce. It reduced over time.
Absolutely fabulous

And, the next night we all agreed we wished it were "beef stew" night again. The flavors were rich and the green beans were a great snap. Can't wait to make this again!

This was very easy to make, and lots of fun. It made an absolute TON. We had leftovers which definitely tasted almost better than when it was first made. It wasn't a very thick stew.

I made this last night and the flavor is delicious! I read all the reviews before, so I put in a lot more flour to make this thicker- but it still was like a soup (which is why it didn't get 5 stars). Then, I put a cornstarch and water mixture in and it still didn't work. Today, I ate leftovers for lunch and it was finally the right constistency after sitting in the fridge since last night. I would make it again.

Too much rosemary & wine

User: Anonymous User Rating:
The basic ingredents in this stew are great however, I found that this was way too much fresh rosemary and found myself picking it out shortly after adding it, as it started to take over the stew. I think a 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp. depending on your preference is more in order. Also found that it was a bit too acidic because of the wine quantity (and a little bitter - may have been the OD of rosemary though).
RIDICULOUS.

I really enjoyed the stew. I considered several stew recipes on this site before deciding on Dave's. I'm so glad I tried it, it has a wonderful flavorful sauce where many stews go wrong with just salt, pepper, and bay leaf. I used a simple red table wine that a friend makes himself and it was perfect. Also I used the frozen french beans from Trader Joe's which are so dainty and elegant they are a nice contrast to the chunky rustic dish and they are just about the only green beans I can get my family to eat without hiding them in almonds and feta cheese.
Rich and Hearty, tasty, too

I followed the recipe almost exactly, but increased flour. I used 2T of flour to brown the meet and 2T of flour in the recipe as called for. I used chicken broth. Mine did not turn out sweet, but you could taste the wine and it was so rich. The crushed tomatoes were the ones with the roasted garlic. Cooked it for 2.5 hours total.

I was craving stew on a cold Sunday afternoon. In my mind, stew is stew is stew. I found this recipe, thought it covered the veggies I wanted to include ... but wasn't prepared to be dazzled. I thought this recipe created a stew that was rich and delicious. You have the option of using chicken or beef broth. I used beef and thought it was perfect. I had lots left over so I took it to work the next day to share. Several people requested the recipe. This will be my stew recipe from now on!

This is hands down the best I've ever had! Excellent flavor, the wine makes it so much more complex than the usual recipes. I would agree with the other reviewers to increase the amount flour for a thicker consistency. Next time I might also use a little less rosemary or wrap it in a cheese cloth as all the little leaves come off during the simmering.
Good taste, a little watery

In the first hour of the cooking, I wonder if there is anything missing since the stew is too liquidly, but it gets thicken when done. Totally agree with other reviewers, leftover is just must better as the stew gets thicker and happier. After dinner, we went to the mall, came home, and found ourselves in the kitchen, fishing out from the stew pot... It's tastier and yummier!!!

Unbelievably great beef stew. I have tried more recipes for beef stew over the past 20yrs and none of them have been this good. I used a Cabernet Sauvignon and it adds an incredible richness and tanginess to the broth. This recipe would be so easy to double or triple for a big crowd. Next time I make it I'm going to add some mushrooms in with the onion/carrot mixture. This will forever be my go to beef stew recipe. Also, it would make a great base for a beef barley, rice, or noodle soup!! Thanks Dave!!

This is a great dish on a cold frosty night. I used frozen pearl onions instead of chopped onion and added a few drops of Worstershire sauce. The dish was fragrant with Rosemary. Will try another herb next time for variety. I also thought the final result was more like a soup than a stew. I remedied that with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water or broth. Add to "soup" and bring to a boil and stir until thickened and becomes a "stew".

I just made this stew yesterday and it was good, maybe very good....but it lacked a certain 'something'. It was little thin like other reviewers commented. However, I'm surprised that more people didn't comment on the smoke that you can generate while browning the beef. After browning the first batch of beef, my entire apartment was filled with thick smoke even aftr turning the heat down. You can achieve the same result if you cook the beef at a lower temperature for a longer period and you won't smoke yourself out of your apartment. But all in all, it was a tasty dish.
