Just made this stew and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, even my picky kids. The beef was so tender and the sauce was amazing.

The stew was good, but not great. I found the flavor to be a bit one-dimensional. I think it would have been better with some additional spices or herbs.

This stew was a bit of a disappointment. The instructions were unclear, and the end result was a watery, flavorless stew. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This stew was just okay. The beef was a bit tough, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different cut of beef.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make stew. I used venison instead of beef, and it turned out great. The cranberries added a nice touch of sweetness and tartness.

This stew is hearty and comforting, perfect for a cozy dinner. The beef is fall-apart tender, and the sauce is thick and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the crispy shallots on top.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this stew. The cranberries add a lovely tartness that balances out the richness of the beef and bacon. It's a great dish for a cold winter day.

My family raved about this dish! The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. The addition of cranberries gave it a unique and tangy twist. It was a hit and will definitely be making it again.

This Swiss-style stew was an absolute delight to make and savor. The flavors were rich and complex, with the tender beef, smoky bacon, and tart cranberries blending together perfectly. I served it over mashed potatoes, and the sauce was so delicious
