Beef Stew with Roasted Winter Vegetables

Mmmmm! I made this tonite for a get-together with another couple. Our infant daughters even loved it! I used carrots, parnips, sweet potatoes and a butternut squash. I adjusted the recipe to use 6 cups of vegetables and we still only had 1 serving left over after we were all done, so I would say double what you think you'll need. The veggies cooked up nicely and we used apple juice instead of wine and I would definitely say that you do not need to add sugar. It had great flavor and everyone loved it!

This was actually pretty incredible. Everything I used was organic, from the meat to the vegetables. I used carrots, sweet potato, and butternut squash. The only thing I did differently is add way more spices since I know I prefer a punchier palette and used cubed beef stew meat instead of sirloin. Super comforting and super filling. LOVED IT.

During preparation we decided that the vinegar taste was a little too much for the teenagers, we cut the flavor by adding some sugar and more chicken broth. They devoured the stew, taking second and third helpings. In retrospect I wonder if we should have used the apple juice instead of dry red wine.

Yummm!! I didn't bother with the wine (I'm sure it would be fantastic with it) and used homemade chicken stock I had lying around the freezer. I used carrots, parsnips, sweet potato and baby potatoes and didn't bother with the mashed potatoes, it tured out great! 10/10 will cook again.

Overall I liked this recipe but the meat came out pretty tough. I used stir-fry sirloin cut up small, and also added green beans for color and crunch towards the end. The broth over mashed potatoes was delicious!

Fabulous

I made this dish minus mashed potatoes several times and I love it!! It is one of my favorites!

I didn't like it and probably won't make again. The "gravy" was very thin and the meat came out tough. I had to come back and see if I missed an ingredient but I didn't.

Well I didn't like it because I messed it up. I forgot to put the apple juice or wine. I really think forgetting that last bit of liquid really is what messed it up. Also the veggies weren't as tender as I wanted. The steak was tough. I think this recipe would be really good in the crock pot too. Next time I will do that.

Hubby loved it! Very Healthy too! Had no idea you can use low sodium "Chicken Broth" in a Beef Dinner - But it tasted AWESOME!! Great spices to flavor it perfectly -Tasted like I used Beef broth. I used fresh thyme, floured my meat after pan frying it (thickened sauce perfectly when mixed with broth) and our winter veggies used- squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, & russet potatoes! - no mashed potatoes needed to serve over. -Thanks for sharing!- Great Idea & so healthy - Delicious Too!

i loved this, sweet and tangy i added mushrooms and more broth and juice
