Perfect! The only thing I did differently was coat the beef in seasoned flour before browning it so the stew would thicken up a little as it cooked. Almost as good as grandma's Thanks.

I was looking for a beef stew recipe close to my Mom's. She didnt write her's down. This is the one! We leave out the potatoes in the pot and serve over mashed potatoes instead. I added a cup and a half of frozen pees 10 minutes before the end.

I have cooked a few versions of beef stew but your variation took my eye while searching out new recipes at Zaar and I just had to try it. Let me tell you, my hubby & I were not disappointed with the results - it was absolutely D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S and the aroma while it was cooking.....mmmmmm. Dee514 you really outdid yourself with this one so here are 5 STARS coming your way.

This stew has a wonderful flavor.We used peas instead of green beans and a Merlot for the wine. It was quite easy to prepare, and we will definitely make it again.
