I used applewood smoked bacon, added fresh rosemary, sage & thyme, and replaced the fresh mushrooms with 1/2 cup reconstituted dried mushrooms and their liquid. I used a fruity but soft merlot. In addition, I added some very finely minced celery, carrot & onion to it as well as 1 heaping tbsp of tomato paste. Geez - I know it sounds like I added & changed a lot of things, but this is a great recipe to use as an outline! The broth was so rich and silky & wonderful with these additions.

5 Stars is not enough for this recipe. What makes this recipe so good is it takes very little of your time to make such a fanastic meal that other people would think you spent alot of hours over the stove when you didn't. I did omit the salt and pepper and I also double the sause. This recipe I am going to have again for my family and for company.

I made this last Friday night for the five of us and everyone thought it was wonderful. I used cubed tenderloin from a roast I made a few days earlier and followed the rest of the recipe as written. Served it over wide egg noodles and it was delish! The boys had seconds and there were no left-overs which proves how good this was! Thanks so much for sharing this,PanNan!

This is a great way for a change from beef stew to use up some stew beef. The meat was so tender and the gravy was one of the best that I've had. I did omit the salt, health reasons, and it was still very tasty. Thanks PanNan for this recipe.

I thought it was good except there was way too much thyme. Next time I make it my dad wanted me to leave the thyme out all together, but I think I will use the fresh and see if that makes a difference.

Have used this recipe for years and it is fabulous. If there is any left over, I add water and bring to a boil. Then add sliced carrots, sliced celery, boiled potatoes, green beans and corn. Great winter beef stew!

I made this exactly as written except for the thyme - DH was afraid he wouldn't like it. What a wonderful dish - the sauce is sooo good. I wish I had doubled it, but will make it again soon - it is my DH's new favorite.

I wish I could rate this recipe higher than 5 stars! The recipe was easy to prepare and the flavor was superb. I served this over mashed potatoes, with green beans and french rolls for a wonderful meal. I was really hoping for leftovers so I could use Queen Dragon Mom's suggestion for the stew. Unfortunately, my bunch gobbled it all in one meal. Thanks for this great recipe!
