This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. It's also a great meal to make ahead of time.

I added some red wine to the stew and it gave it a really nice depth of flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out perfectly. The beef was fall-apart tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The gravy was also very flavorful.
