My husband and I really don\'t like cooking and we\'re not great at it, but this recipe is very easy and it makes a filling supper. What\'s more, it reheats very well-very important for us. We did try this recipe in the crock pot, but it did not work and we ended up throwing it out because the meat was dried out yet still not done.
This stew is the easist to make and my son-in-law is very picky about his food. He gave this one a thumbs up.WOW !!, also my grandsone and daughter loved it to. This is going to be a regular in this house from now one.
I made this the other night for my wife and 2 boys. We used low sodium beef broth, which made an almost tasteless broth. We added 1 cube of beef boullion, and this turned out to be one of our favorite meals.
It certainly was easy to make, but was bland. Someone suggested adding a beef bullion cube - great idea. But I think that by browning the meat cubes in butter first to sear in the meat flavor, adding fresh herbs instead of dry -- like a sprig of fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme - adding some garlic, a dash of lemon, a dash of chilli pepper, and making a flour rue to thicken the gravy towards the end of cooking instead of instant Tapioca might make this still easy and yet brilliant.
This can be prepared in a slow cooker by just combing ingredients and letting them cook on slow for 8-9 hours .... and the fat is too high, use lean beef cuts, the slow cooker will make them tender.
recipie sounds good pressure cooking will cut your cook time to about 15 min i use one at least once a week for stews they are great and no the newer types are safe to use and retain much of the vitimin content of the food

This seems more like a roast dish to me, I cook in my house and stew to me is not cooked in the oven. When i cook my stew it\'s on the stove top in a big pot with Cubed steak, Ground meat, A lot of onion and bell pepper, potatoes, Stewed tomatoes, tomatoe sauce and a lot of spice. Maybe living in south texas we think of Stew a lot different?
I was quite disappointed with this recipe. First off, it was very bland. I had to add a boullion cube, garlic powder, and season salt. Still it was just okay. Even with the extra tapioca, it was quite soupy. I expected it to be much thicker. Lastly, at 300 degrees, it was nowhere near done in 3 hours(more like 4 hours). The potatoes and carrots were still hard. I am sorry I went against my better judgement and didn\'t turn the oven up to 350 in the first place. It took so long that we ended up eating biscuits alone for dinner tonight. We\'ll have to save the stew for tomorrow. I will not cook this again!
Leave out the marjoram, but add garlic and tyne plus more stock and vegetables unless you are on a diet. A splash of wine would help as well. A knob of butter in the stock at the end and eat with crusty bread
In response to the sodium content of this recipe, I\'m not a nutritionist or a doctor or anything, but any kind of soup or stew has a lot of sodium. Broth is always high in sodium unless you can find reduced sodium broth. It tends to be a little more expensive but it\'s what I use. I haven\'t made this recipe yet, but I\'m also considering using less broth and more water. That will probably sacrifice some of the taste, so maybe I\'ll add a little wine.
