***Okay, update on this review and another star added! After letting the flavors develop in the frige and serving it up with sour cream---Wow! Very yummy. It did, IMHO, need *something* and I was really uncertain what that something was. I was thinking more Dijon, but I'm seriously glad I went with the sour cream (well, actually, don't tell my DH, but it was yogurt--the bazillion calorie high fat kind so it isn't like I was going for health with the substitution--it was just what I had on hand). I can't describe exactly what it did except to "round out the flavor". It seemed to tangy/sour and the yogurt really softened it up and made it GREAT!***<br/><br/>(Original review) I did add about 2 T tomato paste because I had some to use up and I thought that the tomato would work and play well with the beef, beer, mustard, etc. I think I was wrong or this beef stew is just too tangy for me. It just didn't taste like I hoped or expected, but the tomato paste could definitely be the problem, so I'm not blaming the recipe as is. I am big into beef burgundy or mexican flavored pulled beef and wanted something different which this definitely is. My husband likes it, so no complaint on that count.
