*xxuviolkd, depending on your cooktop the temp can vary. It was most likely to hot. I always either take the top of a wooden spoon and dip it, if it bubbles around the edge its the perfect temp, or sprinkle a few drops of water in it and if that sizzles its the right temp also. You dont want to cook the meat just get a good coating on it. if you think its burning lower our heat.

I’m sure it’s just me, but I halved the recipe, used 2 tbs of oil and less that midway through my browning batches (didn’t want to crowd the meat), I had to add more oil to keep my pan from burning. Any suggestions on how to avoid using more oil. Did I maybe have it too high set to Medium High?

Thanks.

This was a wonderful, easy and very flavorful stew. The sauce was very tasty and not to sweet (for those wondering). I would make it again.

I made this recipe last week and I really enjoyed it. It was a nice stew to have on a cold, windy day. My only changes were I had to add another cup of stock (which made the stew juices perfect for soaping up with bread) and I added my vegetables during the last two hours of high cooking so that they still had a bit of bite to them.

This was very good. I gave it 4 stars because it was wholesome, hearty, and yummy. And was well received by my family but I had to add in quite a bit more salt and pepper and Lawry’s seasoning salt to give it a little oomph. Although come to think of it I did use Diet Cola instead of regular so maybe that’s where I went wrong. I’ll definitely be making it again, this time with regular soda, probably an extra clove of garlic or two, and some Lawry’s. Thank you for a great recipe!
