This taste alot like the stew I make but mine has veggies and no beer. So it was strange to not add them LOL I did have to add a bit more beer and broth as it was cooking but that could be a personal choice GREAT flavour and no one ingredient overpowers the other they just meld together beautifully. The meat was tender and the broth is dark and beefy.I served it over mashed potatoes This is going in my Divine recipes of 2009 Cookbook. Made for Prop It Up tag Feb 2009
