Recipe needs correction, but came out great!November 06, 2008By jaelsne
"I would have given this recipe at least four stars, but I had to make a couple of corrections. First of all, it mentions browning the beef cubes in the oil, but oil is not a listed ingredient. I used a couple of tablespoons of grapeseed oil, but vegetable oil would work fine. I also browned the meat, removed it from the pan, and then browned the onions. It's not a necessary step, but if you add the onions while the meat is in it, the onions do not get very brown. Also--two hours is FAR too long of a cooking time. I cooked the stew about a half hour before adding the pototatoes, then let it go about twenty more minutes after the potatoes were added. It was delicious!!!"
