  1. We used Venison instead of stew beef. I also used fresh parsely. The stew meat came out very tender, but we felt the whole stew lacked flavor. I doubled from the butter on down. As written, it did not seam like enough sauce. With doubling we still didn't have any gravy.
     
  2. Wonderfull recipe and it was very easily adapted to a 30 minute meal. I needed something quick and for some stew meat, but didn't have time for the slow cooker, so I took this great recipe, cut the meat into bite size pieces, quickly browned them in a tablespoon of olive oil. I cut the potatoes, carrots, and onion into small pieces and threw them into the pot and sauted them for a few minutes with the meat, butter and spices. I then added the flour and blended then added the water. I let it simmer for about 20 minutes. It was fantastic. I didn't change a thing about your recipe, just rearranged the cooking. I can't wait to do this in the crockpot one weekend. Thanks for the great recipe.
