I tried making it and it turn out perfect! I’m a Muslim so I’d substitute the wine to pomegranate juice instead. The flavour was still great! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Yay Joti! Its a favorite in our house too. Thank you for sharing that with me 🙂
This is a favorite in my house. I have made it few times now . I use a large Dutch oven and put pot in oven once all ingredients are in.
Woohoo Char! I’m so glad your family loved it. Thanks for sharing that with me and the great review 🙂
Delicious!! The best beef stew recipe ever. I followed recipe, but did add celery because I love the taste, and I only had 4 cups of beef broth so I added 1 cup au jus sauce I had!!! My husband and daughter told me this was definitely the best beef stew ever,! Thanks.
This is a stove top recipe, Ive never made it in a slow cooker. I don’t think I would reduce the liquid. Hope this helps Carissa 🙂
If you do this in a slow cooker should you reduce the liquid amount please???
I’m so glad to hear that Russ! Thank you for taking the time to come back here and share that 🙂
I made this last night and we absolutely loved it. Usually when I try a new recipe, I make a note to do one or two things differently the next time I make it…not so with this one. Hearty, rich, and delicious. Serve it with some buttered bread so you can mop the the bowl clean!
Great!
Sure Renee. It does add a great touch of flavor. But yes you can leave it out 🙂
Hi there, Can I skip putting in red wine?
Renee
Sure Stephanie, it would work fine in a slow cooker 🙂
Could I cook this in a crock pot?
Oh Yay Marissa! So glad you loved it, and came back here to share that with me. 🙂
Love it !! Made it tonight and it’s perfect for a winter evening ❤️
Oh Yay Martine! Let me know what you think 🙂
This looks amazing I am making it tonite!!
My my no need to be snippy Gayle! I’m a human being that is allowed to make a mistake. But its all fixed now 🙂
Item 4 of your instructions say to pour in the CHICKEN STOCK. Everywhere else it refers to BEEF BROTH. Confusing, and needs to be fixed.
