My mum is German and she would make this filling stew during the winter. We all loved it, so I thought I'd share!
Delicious as written! The meat comes out tender, the lentils are cooked perfectly, as are the potatoes. I did cut the potatoes into 1.5" chunks. I would recommend keeping the lid ON when it's simmering because I noticed too much liquid was evaporating with it halfway covered. This will also thicken up upon cooling. The only thing that I don't see working is cooking this big batch of stew in a skillet. Use a large stockpot!

We loved this! Simple, tasty, makes a ton and cheap. I used fresh rosemary and added a couple of bay leaves to the mix. This is a great hearty stew and is very comforting on this cold and rainy night! Especially with a glass of malbec. Enjoy!
I made it without the flank steak since I didn't have any & because we are in a pandemicand it wasn't enough reason to run to the store. I diced 2 tomatoes instead of the can tomatoes. I didn't have rosemary so I used 1/2 tsp of dried thyme. Also, I love cilantro so I threw a handful of fresh cilantro. I loved it. I'm on a low sodium and fluid restrictions diet so I didn't add salt and used 2 cups of Lino Life low sodium beef broth+1 cup of water. Delicious!!!!
I made this recipe as is pretty much. I had stew meat on hand so that would be the biggest difference. The actual modification was in the procedure I added the lentils and the potatoes last after the beef was cooked to tender fork soft. I also added one bay leaf to the soup and discarded it at the end. Overall very good soup for this chilly autumn temperatures! Will make it again!
Excellent, healthy, and delicious. We loved the addition of rosemary - brought out the flavor of the lentils and the beef.
