Beef Stew With Winter Root Vegetables image

This is another winner from my old and trusty Bon Appetit magazine. I love this stew. And it's really easy to modify for your own tastes (which I have) I like potatoes in my stew, so I modified it to add them. I usually throw this all in a crock pot after I brown the beef. It makes a really delicious easy dinner or left over lunch. *Cooking times are approximate*

This recipe was a total disaster! The beef was tough and chewy, and the vegetables were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I used the wrong cut of beef? Either way, I won't be making this again.
