  1. I've made this with water instead of wine and potatoes and carrots;very tasty and sto fast to prepare.
     
  2. We made this twice in a week because my husband liked it so much! delicious and easy to make. This made a lot of delicious gravy too - we thickened it once and left it "au jus style" the second time and both ways it was fine. - we served it with yorkshire pudding and veg and salad and everyone loved it (four children under 8 here!)
     
  3. SUDDENLY discovered DH had NOT put latest meat purchases in the freezer - and was desperate to get something going at 11 AM !! Had this (a 3 pound chuck) in the crockpot, with wine, soups,a can of mushroom pieces, snd some Italian seasoning, by 11:15 !! Left it on HIGH until 5:30, and pleasantly surprised at flavor and tenderness. Will refrigerate ALL of the leftovers, skim off the fat (which I did NOT have time to trim) and will thicken and add some other veggies to the gravy. Thanks, Jim !
     
  4. This is super easy and flavorful! I added potatoes, carrots and onions. Nice tender meat, great. Donna
     
  5. This made the most fantastic gravy ever! The roast was amazing. I did cut pockets in the meat and inserted garlic slices. Also used dry onion soup mix and only had a little dry red wine so put half dry white. I fixed it in a crock pot for a little over 8 hours and added potatoes at about 6 hours. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars...a winner!

  1. This was fantastic! It has great flavor. Loved the french onion soup. I used half water and half beef broth instead of the wine. Will be making this a lot I'm sure. Thanks for posting this recipe.
     
  2. loved it, used a Shiraz-Grenache for the wine. used beef broth instead of the mushroom soup and fresh portabellas. Makes a lovely broth for gravy.
     
  3. we loved this! absolutely wonderful! I ended up getting "stew beef". and instead of using the red wine (which i forgot at the store) i used water (i added ALL kinda different stuff to the water, parsley, sage, tony's, worschsier, etc..) i also added carrots and potatoes to the mix. i didn't change much on this recipe....we will make this again...
