The stew tasted wonderful, but it was an awful lot of work for what it is. I would probably not make this again in a steamer, but rather I would just toss all the ingredients in a large pot and cooked it up on my stovetop like my regular beef stew recipe. But it did taste great!

I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
