This was hearty comfort food. We enjoyed the combination of carrots and the sweet prunes along with the beef which was very tender. The sauce was great on mashed potatoes! We felt it needed more salt to bring out the flavors more, and next time I'll season the beef with seasoning salt before browning. Thanks everydaychef, I'll make this again! Made for PAC spring 2008.
