Very good. The whole family loved it and there was none left. I followed the recipe exactly and changed nothing. This will be the only recipe I use for stew from now on.

I made this recipe last night and we absolutely loved it. Like others suggested, I substituted 2 cups of beef broth for the water and onion soup mix. I used baby Yukon Golds and baby red potatoes, and sauted Peruvian sweet onions with 2 chopped garlic cloves. I added 3 whole cloves and a bay leaf for a little extra flavor. My fiance wanted to eat the whole crock pot full. Delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

Best meal I have ever made!!! I'm not joking. Only difference is that instead of the 1/4 cup of water and flour at the end I used about a TBS of corn starch. Also, i made a mistake that turned out for the better. I used 1/4 cups of Merlot i used 2 cups. Let's just say that the kids went to bed a little early. KIDDING. But i did use 2 cups. Tasted great.

no ponerle tanta verdura y si la hago en la olla de presion, no ponerle tanta agua

Loved the outcome, but I definitely needed to alter the recipe, there wasn't enough liquid in it! Also, a bit too much prep for my liking, especially it being a slow cooker recipe.

Wonderful! I have tried many slow cooker stew recipes and this is by far the best. I used a pound of stewing beef and followed all other directions exactly,except there was no need to thicken. I had a wonderful gravy at the end. Server with hot, crusty buttered rolls. Hubby at 2 bowl fulls. Will definately make again. Thank you

This was my first time using a slow cooker, and the first time I've ever made beef stew... it turned out wonderful, my husband loved it! I seasoned the beef with some garlic herb seasoning before browning it. Next time I'll probably add more veggies and maybe some garlic... delicious! Definetly will make again.

Great stew. I used other's suggestions with the Worcestershire sauce and more red wine. I added a teaspoon of minced garlic, a bay leaf, and celery. Perfect fall/winter staple.

THis is a very good stew recipe. However, for 3 pounds of beef, which is a lot of meat, I added a lot more vegetables. I cut up 3 x-large carrots, 3 lbs of small, baby red potatoes, 3 large vidalia onions. I also added an extra cup of water, worsteshire sauce, tomato paste and thyme. I didn't use rosemary, but that would probably be a good addition also. There was so much, I couldn't use my slow cooker, so I put it in my large roasting pan (which holds at least a 20lb turkey) and cooked it in the oven at 300 degrees for 2 hours, and turned the heat down to 250 for 1 hour. I froze the leftovers and will have stew for quite a long time.

WOW! I signed up just to rate this recipe. It was delicious. I did like the others by adding beef stock and also added celery and one clove of minced garlic. I also did 1/3c of wine cause one review said it needed maybe a bit more...and it was PERFECT!!!! Thanks so much for posting this beef stew because its so hard to find good recipes and such a disappointment when you waste time and food making something that itsn't good. SO, great job to the chef for putting this one together.. I reccomend you try it, you won't be disappointed :)

Not bad at all

Great recipe, I made just a few changes, I sauted fresh garlic with the onions, used only 2 onions, I replaced the onion soup mix with a package of beef stew mix. I used Merlot for the wine and added an extra half cup or so. Also replaced the water with beef broth. I cooked on high for the 30 minutes and then low for about 8 hours before I added the flour and water to thicken. Oh and I also added mushrooms and a can of corn to the stew mixture. My husband raved about it. By the way this is the first time I have ever made beef stew, mostly because I don't care for it, but he absolutely LOVED IT. Great recipe, thanks for all the reviews, they are great to get ideas from.

We love this recipe, and make it a lot in the fall and winter. I tend to add more carrots and potatoes than are called for, but we love veggies. Also, I use some crushed garlic, and substitute beef broth for the water. As for the wine, I always use a Cab and we drink the rest with dinner:) A staple.

Five stars, because it is easy and satisfying. It's simple and "old fashioned," and in those things lies it's great appeal. I used whole baby Yukons, and whole carrots, peeled and cut into hearty chunks. I didn't have an open bottle of Cab, so I used a Malbec. I always season meat dishes with Jane's Crazy Mixed-Up Salt. Serve with a crusty bread, a green salad and a glass of that Malbec and you have a perfect Fall meal.

I followed the recipe with the exception of using fresh parsley in place of dry parsley. It smelled wonderful while cooking and the taste is out of this world. I have always had a hard time making beef stew that had a good taste and look. Perhaps my crockpot cooked it quicker but I started at 10am this morning and it is already done!! Cant wait for dinnertime!! Just need some biscuits to go with!!

This stew was very bland. Had to add way too many things to make it good.

This stew was sooo easy. I gave the recipe to my husband and he made it when i was at work. To save time we threw everything in the pot, so no browning or makeing the rue. We also omited the wine since we don't keep wine in the house. Added 1-2 tablespoons of brown gravy mix. It turned out soo tasty!
