I remember making this so many times and I have my own hand printed recipe. In fact it is so old that a lot of it has faded and was illegible but now I can read the whole recipe. Think I got it from a magazine under the heading"Star's Favourite Recipes" when I was living in Canada. This stew is without doubt one of the most delicious, rich stews you will ever have. Certainly the burgandy makes a difference and I only ever used cheap wine. I can't believe that I googled "Burt's Beef Stew" and I got the original recipe. Try it because you will absolutely love it.

I've also been making this since the 70's, and agree that it's excellent. It helps to brown the meat in batches so that the pan isn't overcrowded. I use unpeeled baby red potatoes cut in half or left whole (depending on the size). Cuts down on the prep time.

i've been making this recipe since 1971...yes, that's right. i found it a few months after I got married! It's fantastic. Easy and tasty. New cooks, you can't mess it up! Just make sure you flour the beef well and get it a little crunchy before you add the liquids.

I am a housewife, I love to cook and experiment with different spices and flavors, there are not many recipe ideas I will not try. EXCEPT! anything that is extremely HOT and SPICY, I have a allot of family members living here and most of us spend the holidays together.We all Love to eat and look forward to the different AND the traditional recipes on the Holidays. My pet peeve...HUM it makes me crazy when someone cooks and leaves the mess pile up, It's easier to clean as you go, that way when the food is done you can actually sit down and enjoy it. I am very passionate about and being apart of the fight to prevent animal cruelty, and helping to educate people about what happens to Children or Pets left in vehicles on very hot or very cold days, also Pets left in extreme elements outside without the proper necessities. I believe that anyone that purposely harms or torturers a child or a animal is a Coward!
