Just a wonderful simple full of beefy goodness stew. I didn't not flour the beef but did use a cornstartch slurry to thicken at the end. I added the potatoes about halfway thro cooking only because sometimes I find they get overccoked. I also added more broth but I also added more veggies ( personal likes is all) Made for PRMR Tag

I am 71 and have been making beef stew for a long time. I made your recipe yesterday and did not change one thing. It is absolutely the best beef stew I have ever eaten! Thank you so much for sharing.

This beef stew was RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!!! I reduced the beef amount to 1 lb since there're only 2 of us and also reduced the veggie amount accordingly. Followed this recipe for everything else and after 6-hour slow cooking, my entire apartment smelt like heaven. Devoured this with rice! Definitely making this again! Highly recommended!!!

My family enjoyed this stew a lot. Quick and easy. The smell all day was wonderful. Cooked it on Hi for 5.5 hrs and it was perfectly done, made a nice thick sauce too.

Flavorful and filling! My husband has requested I make this more often since he loved it so much. I swapped the celery for a bag of frozen peas and added dried rosemary.
