This recipe was OK, but it lacked something - my husband said it lacked "zing" - perhaps I needed more worcestershire, or celery, as the other reviewer suggested. I had added a bay leaf and tried to thicken the sauce with some corn starch near the end, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. As I said before, this was OK, but I think next time I'll try a different recipe.

This was easy and yummy!! I used a chuck steak that was about 3 inches thick and cut it into chunks. I subbed thyme for basil, no basil to be found. When i came home for lunch it smelled delicious but I had to add a bay leaf, a small one. Left out the sugar, next time will add a couple of stocks of celery. You could make this into strognoff easily by just adding sour cream the last 15 minutes. I fixed egg noodles this time, but next time I think I will do rice. This is a yummy come home to dinner! Thank you DiB's for posting this, I will fix this again and again and again!
