Very good and easy. I added about 4 cloves minced garlic and 2 extra carrots to this.I used canned mushrooms because I didn't have any fresh and I used a white onion instead of the green.I followed the recipe the rest of the way, using the red wine(Burgundy), and added in some worcestershire sauce too.Served over buttered egg noodles and sprinkled with fresh minced parsley and sourdough rolls on the side. My husband liked it very much. Yummy meal on a chilly night. Thank you very much for sharing! I will make this again.

I made this for my family - everyone RAVED over it. There was seven people at dinner that night - people coming and going at all times. The meal smelled wonderful and heated up so well. I used extra meat and left out the tapioca.

Very easy to prepare with ingredients I usually have on hand. We didn't care for this too much. I'm thinking it could have been the bay leaf. I've never been a real fan of it, and we typically like dishes with italian seasoning. I'll probably try this one again in the future and leave the bay leaf out and see if that makes a difference.

This was really good! It makes alot, so we got 2 meals from it and I added the leftovers to a stew I'd made. I didn't have italian tomatoes so added extra italian seasoning which turned out to be mostly oregano,,big mistake. But by another zaarian's suggestion, added 1 T. sugar and a tsp of basil and a sm. can of tomato sauce. Turned out perfect! Next time will have the correct canned tomatoes, and there will be a next time! This dish is easy, very flavorful, a good way to use up my extra roundsteak and the whole house smelled so good! Thanks NurseDi for posting this, it will be a favorite for us :)...Kitty
