I made this stew last night and my 83 year old father and I had it for lunch today. It looks just
like the above photo. This is now my favorite stew recipe, because it makes a rich and deeply flavorful gravy--it's not soupy, at all. I used a can of Campbell's tomato soup which added a homey flavor that matched the stew beef well. I cooked it in a Calphalon stainless steel heavy bottomed pot for the full 5 hours, stirring it every hour.
