A very good beef stew recipe! I used a regular sweet onion, diced, and 2 regular-sized carrots; no snap peas. I browned the meat in bacon fat instead of vegetable oil (since some beef stew recipes have bacon in them, I thought it would be good for the flavor) and it was very tasty! This will be my new standard recipe for beef stew!

mmm mmm good! We enjoyed this stew very much. I used ordinary stewing beef and used sherry for the wine, delicious! I used less bably carrots and added celery, rutabega, fennel bulb and rather than pearl onions, which are to hard to get, used regular white onon and left out the snap peas in favour of the fennel bulb. I cut all the veggies into large chunks. Also cut the cornstarch to just one tablespoon which thickened it quite nicely. Lovely favlourful stew, I will be makeing again.
