The flavour was alright (we used reduced sodium ingrdients), however, it was way too thick for us.

I loved this beef stew. It was simple and tasty. I used tinned chopped tomatoes and normal gravy powder as I had no bisto. I didn't need all the flour mix as the gravy thickened nicely without it. Yum.

Bravo! A wonderful flavor stew. You are right it is different from your normal beef stew recipe. I followed the directions completely. I made this recipe the night before and just added the potatoes in the morning. All I had to do is plug it in. I couldn't find Bistro at my grocery store so I added 2 Tbsp of Quick Cooking Tapioca the last two hours of cooking. The only change I wouldn't add teh water right away. When I came home from errands a couple of hours later, there was broth all over my counter. I have a 6 quart Rival slow cooker.

I made this stew and it was so delicious! I did use some of the flour mix at the end but not all of it because I needed to add more beef broth at the last hour because it was getting just alittle too thick. I also cooked the vegetables in the broth a hour and a half before adding the other ingredients. We all loved this stew and will definitely make again, Thanks Lee-Anne
