Delicious Beef Stew With Red Wine and Hoisin

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Hoisin sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce that brings out extra flavor in any dish, you can find it in the Asian section of any large supermarket, all amounts may be adjusted to taste --- try this using a small chuck roast instead of beef cubes and increase the cooking time, the recipe may be doubled if desired --- I have made this stew many times it is *very* good!"

The perfect comfort food for fall! My husband raved about this one and he (having been restaurant trained) rarely gives five stars. I loved it as well, and so did our baby! I used round steak so the stew was actually done in just an hour. The directions didn't say whether to cover the lid while simmering the meat, but I did and that seemed to work well. While the veggies were cooking, I was thinking I was going to have to add cornstarch, but the liquid cooked down and thickened on its own by the time it was done. The texture was hearty and the flavor robust with a touch of sweetness from all those lovely autumn root vegetables (plus I used a red onion). Thanks for posting this unique and delicious recipe!

This is the very best roast I've ever made! It was flavorful and tender. Thank you for posting this one!!!! Me and my hubby loved it! I had to really search to find it again because I lost my print out,but was worth the half hour to look for it!!! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. I couldn't find hoisin sauce anywhere, so I substituted with oyster sauce but it was incredible! We served it with fresh bread & garlic mashed potatoes. This time I got a larger roast so we could have more left-overs! Perfect for when you are having company over for dinner.
