Introduction

This is my attempt to recreate my mom's delicious stew. She used a beef blade cut which added lots of flavor and fat. In my version I used round which is a lot leaner and less flavorful. For a more intense flavor use oxo beef extract or, as in this recipe, add 4 oz of red wine! This is my attempt to recreate my mom's delicious stew.
