I have tried to make several of these beef with wine types and this rates toward the top of the list , this turned out very well for me , I like the taste of salt that I add myself but I do not like the taste of high sodium canned food so I made the following substitutions and the taste was very fresh. I used no salt added kitchen basics chicken stock, no salt tomato paste, and to use up some fresh tomatoes I used three chopped tomatoes with an additional half a cup of stock and extra tomato paste as substitute for canned diced tomatoes. Also added two cans of mushrooms and some sweet potato the carrots and used a frozen chopped onion mix. . the sweet potato actually ended up mostly dissolving but added wonderful and thickness to the sauce. I served over those egg noodles that come frozen, added salt to taste. It was really outstanding. I used my heavy lecruset Dutch oven, next time I will check it after two and a half hours because I feel It overcooked a bit. thanks for the recipe!!

The beef stew is absolutely amazing! I used already cut-up beef round cubes from the store, and it made the prep even simpler. I had all day to make this so I went with the "oven" method and the sauce got thick and rich. We served it simply over some medium egg noodles and it was a major hit. I will definitely be making this again, even for a dinner party or a special occasion. Btw, this recipe originally comes from Cooking Light's November 2004 edition. Thanks!

Wow! This was awesome. My girlfriend doesn't usually like stew, soup, or saucy foods, yet she still enjoyed it. <br/><br/>I substituted:<br/>crushed tomatoes for diced tomatoes,<br/>corkscrew noodles as egg noodles, and<br/>used Cabinet Saugvahin for red wine. It was great!<br/><br/>Thanks for the fine recipe. i bet the word "healthy" in the title scares people away, but it's great.
