This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I made it with some leftover pot roast, and it turned out great.

This stew was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The beef was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a delicious meal.

I found this recipe to be too bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it flavorful.

This stew was a disappointment. The beef was tough and the sauce was bland.
