Thanks for the recipe! Hubby said either I make him some beef stew or buy him Dinty Moore. LOL. Couldn't do that so I made it. I used sirloin I had bought that turned out to not be so great, was very tender cooked this way. I did omit the tomatoes but added celery and red skin potatoes...love cooked celery!! My son who for a week when I would give options for dinner always picked the other option, after announcing he really ddin't like beef stew. But after eating this changed his mind. Thanks Bergy!!

I am rating cooking the beef by your method only, since I followed Recipe #107029 for the rest. Normally I make a greasy mess on my stove top when I brown meat, so I loved this oven-baked method! This was a superb technique for browning the beef and I've never had such good crusty beef in a stew before!It was like a "perfect pot roast." Thanks Bergy, for posting. Roxygirl

We really enjoyed this lightly seasoned but flavor dinner! I don't have a dutch oven so I used a large casserole dish. Everything worked well except it was more like a soup broth than a stew gravy when I took it out of the oven. I thickened it a bit with some flour water and it turned out fine. I served it with Recipe #98636. Thanks for the tip on the potatoes; I added them also. Thanks Bergy for another great recipe!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
