Review:
I used the delicious Jones Creek Beef again for this recipe and loved it again. I’m starting to think the reason beef has typically been my least favorite meat in the past is because I haven’t been buying good meat. This is a hearty, comforting meal…perfect for these frigid days 🙂 4 stars.
Hi
I am excited to try this recipe, if I wanted to add potato to the crock pot at what point would I? And also would I have to add more liquid?
Thank you
Cindy
You could add large cubes of potatoes at the beginning and you don’t need more liquid.
This recipe piques my interest. I am curious as to what purpose the tapioca holds in this recipe if flour is possibly used later as a thickening agent?
It’s just another thickener
This recipe may be fine for an abstainer but I use a full bottle of Pinot Noir when I make my version and I candy the carrots and use tiny spring onions.
Well la-te-da! A ton of extra work, but I bet the result is just as yummy as this recipe!
Made this today- super delicious! The only modification I made was to put the wine in at the beginning. Husband raved about it and the 4 year old gobbled it up too!
Im excited to try it!!
